dumpbin is a program in Visual Studio Tools that helps you to display infor-
mation in binary le. By using dumpbin we can check whether a dll is build for

Tools ) Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt. Type dumpbin and it will list
all the commands present.
To see all the methods exported by a particular DLL, change the directory
where the DLL is present and type the following command:
dumpbin /exports TestStreamDrv.dll
To check whether a dll is build for x86 or x64 and type the following com-
mand:

HEADER VALUES . This determines whether the DLL is present for x86 or
x64.
