How do you open .dll files to see what is written inside? |
Answer
A DLL file is a compiled library or program. Viewing the properties of the DLL provides you with a number of public items that relate to the DLL, these are things like Developer, version etc. The developer can also mention what properties or functions can be called from that dll. A DLL is not like a document, you can not open it and read the contents.

Another tool for inspecting the inner workings of PE files (EXE, DLL, ActiveX controls, and several other Windows executable formats) is PE Explorer from Heaventools Software: http://www.heaventools.com You can view the structure and all of the resources contained in the file, track down and diagnose problems and more.
Answer
If you just want to see what the inside of a dll file looks like, you can use a text file viewer. Don't use an editor, because any change at all to the file will corrupt it (including word wrap, for instance).
You can do a web search and find hundreds, but something like Large Text File Viewer http://www.topshareware.com/Large-Text-File-Viewer-download-11000.htm would do the trick.
