trying to create a c++ dll in visual studio but no dll file after successful build

Question

hi I have a pretty basic c++ project to compile, and I get 'build succeeded' but don't see a .dll file in the debug or release directories.

there are 4 object files, 2 manifest files, 1 idb, 1 dep, a vc90 debug database, a compiled resource script myprogram.dll.embed.manifest and a build log but no .dll

project properties configuration type is set to .dll

any ideas why there is no dll file?

thank you

Answer 1

If you have a separate solution directory, the DLL is under that directory\debug (or release).
