Dll Library refers to Dynamic-link library. We all know that dll is Microsoft's implementation of the shared library concept in the Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems to ensure the proper running of the computer. These libraries usually have the file extension DLL, OCX (for libraries containing ActiveX controls), or DRV (for legacy system drivers). The file formats for DLLs are the same as for Windows EXE files - that is, Portable Executable (PE) for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, and New Executable (NE) for 16-bit Windows.

These are usually system files .DLL stands for Dynamic Link Library. They are very similar to .exe file extensions and are normally on Microsoft operating systems. As with .exe's, .DLLs can contain code, data, and resources.

Is there a way to convert a binary dll file to text so the dll file can be read and understood?

If you have access to the symbols and a debugger, then yes. However, without a symbol file for the binary, you can only extract limited information from the binary. You might try Spy++(SpyXX.exe), Dependency Walker (depends.exe), and/or a hex editor. A symbol file will have the same name as the binary DLL, or EXE and a file extension of .pdb (e.g. ntdll.dll, ntdll.pdb / ntoskrnl.exe, ntoskrnl.pdb)
