Packages and Standard DLLs

Go Up to Why Use Packages

Create a package when you want to make a custom component that's available through the IDE. Create a standard DLL when you want to build a library that can be called from any application, regardless of the development tool used to build the application.

Note: Packages share their global data with other modules in an application.
