title: When building a DLL file, does the generated LIB file contain the DLL name?
body: <p>In Visual C++ , when I build a dll , the output files are .dll and .lib.</p>
  
  <p>Is the name of the dll built into the .lib file . </p>
  
  <p>The reasson I ask this question is : When I built my exe by importing this dll and run the exe , the exe tries to locate the dll to load it in the process address space . </p>
  
  <p>As we just specify the library name (.lib file) in the project properties , how does the exe get to know the name of the dll . </p>
  
  <p>Note : I dumpbin libary file (.lib) and saw that it does not contain the name of the dll .</p>
