Quick (if possible) question on .NET assemblies and dynamic linkage

All,
quick question about assemblies. If someone uses another .NET assembly in a .
NET program, is the first program considered "dynamicall y linked" into the
new program?

Of course the question arises in licensing (when else?). The LGPL has pretty
clear boundaries on static versus dynamic linking. That would be pretty
clear in the old days using MFC programs and code compiled with VS6 C++ into
DLLs. But what about .NET assemblies? If I compile one and release it as
LGPL, can others link to my programs in Visual Studio and this be considered
"dynamicall y linked"?

Is "static linking" even possible in .NET short of copy and paste of _source
code_ into my editor and a recompile?

Thanks in advance for any expertise that can shed light on this!

D

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
