A DLL is a dynamic link library. It contains (compiled) definitions for functions that can then be called by other projects.

is there any way in witch to edit a dll file without hexing it?

If you have the source for it, you just make the change in the source and compile it.  If all you have is the .dll file, then you can't do any more to that than to a .exe file (although if you reprogram it with the same exports it should still work).


[edit: fixed spelling on source because kp is annoying]

You cant hex edit it, but if you need to know the functions, and the dll isnt encrypted, you can use the dependency viewer found with msvs 6

You can hex-edit it.. it's just a little difficult
