DLL in resource file?

Is it possible to use a DLL that is stored inside a resource file? If
so, how? Heh, this is escaping me and I cannot find any information on
doing this at all.

Thanks in advance.

It works the other way round: a DLL can contain an resource file.

You can put every kind of file inside a resource file.

Take a look at the article 'How to store EVERYTHING (.ANI's,.AVI's,
.EXE's,.JPG's,...) in your .EXE file' on Richard Fellners website [1].

The article 'How to use a user defined resource' [2] seems to be
very interesting, too.

But before you can use a DLL stored in a resource file, you have to
extract it and save it to disk.
