Build»Target Type
The Target Type item opens a submenu in which you select the target type for your project. The target type and configuration you select determines what type of file you create when you execute the Build»Build command. You can select from the following target types:
- Executable
- Dynamic Link Library
- Static Library
When you select Static Library, the Debug Project command in the Run menu is dimmed. If you select Dynamic Link Library, you can use the Run»Specify Executable and Command Line command to specify an external program that uses the DLL. When you do this, the Debug Project command changes to Debug xxx.exe, where xxx.exe is the name of the program you specify.
