Hello
Why would someone use/compile a module/exe instead of using a dll? Also
when would someone use a module instead of a dll?
Example:
Module DoSomething
Sub Main()
' some code
End Sub
End Module

Instead of:

Sub Main()
' some code
CreateWidget()
End Sub

Private Sub CreateWidget()
'some code
End Sub

In other words what is the difference between a modules and a class ?

Hi,

Delegate is a reference of a method, like you are using a 3rd party library
and you want to call a method on such events so they will create a delegate
method and you have to pass the function name so it can call your function
on such events.

DLL means it's a library Dynamic Link Library; that contains some classes
modules for specific programatic task, and a exe file shows an application.
