Hi,
I have a dll that gets called by an exe, I just placed a little code in its
dlmain method and put a breakpoint on the code only to discover that its
getting called nearly hundreds of times. I suspect each time some exported
function is getting called the dllmain also gets called. Why is it happening
and why should it happen?
Regards,

The MSDN explains it all: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682583.aspx
The events are: your dll gets loaded/unloaded and new threads are
created/deleted

Cool. Just one thing was odd on the page though, and that was the note up
there that the information in this page is specific to the .net framework
3.0 whereas I think there is nothing on this page related to .net.
Thanks,

Yes, that is truely not helpful. Seems the redesign of MSDN has introduced
some bogus information when it comes to Win32 APIs which really don't care
about the installed .net framework.

In Jesse Liberty's "Programming in C#" he says that "...an assembly must
have exactly one entry point: DLLMain, WinMain, or Main. DLLMain is the
entry point for DLLs..."
In the MSDN ".Net Framework Developer's Guide" it says that "...each
assembly can have only one entry point (that is, DllMain, WinMain, or
Main..."
So we've got "must" vs. "can" and "DLLMain" vs. "DllMain."

Hi there,
I invoke a native DLL function from managed code. This works fine, but
it seems that the DLL's DllMain function is never called upon
attaching / detaching. Does anyone have an idea why that could be the
case?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,

2. Does each a thread loads dll only once and unloads dll only once during
its life-time? Does DLL_THREAD_DETACH occurs only when thread terminates?

I have a managed cpp wrapper. Im using this in a native dll as a static
variable. I need to free this library when the dll is done being used. The
perfect place to do this is DllMain for DLL_PROCESS_DETACH, but I can't do
this when touching managed code, even if its just calling "delete
someObject;". Any recommendations on how to free this object (it needs to be
freed when the dll is being unloaded from its caller). Since the CRT is...

Hi All,
is there a mechanism just like DllMain in VC6, a function that gets called
whenever an assembly gets loaded?

But I'd really like to jusy leave my DLL attached to Explorer until Explorer

Hi,
Is it possible to define DllMain in a static library for use in dlls? The
reason is that I am defining a platform abstraction for being loaded as a
shared library and I figured the simplest way is to implement DllMain in a
static library, which then calls mydllmain.
I define this library (call it platform.lib) which has DllMain implemented
with what should be unresolved references to mydllmain. I then link it into a

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
