DependsChecker

The DependsChecker application was developed to be a simple light weight utility to find which all dll / exe / ocx in a folder uses a particular dll.
My development environment usually includes large number of binaries. And I was working in some core library module which is used by many other dlls. So whenever I change something in the header file of this code library, I have to rebuild all the dependent libraries. Rebuilding the entire environment was not practical all times. So I had to create such an utility so that I can find out who all uses this code library and can rebuild those modules only.
How to Use:
- In the “Dll Name” edit box, enter the name of the dll for which we have to search for.
- In the “Path” edit box, enter the folder in which we have to search for dlls/exe/ocx that uses dll entered in the “Dll Name” edit box.
- Click “Start” button.
Upon clicking the Start button, the list control starts’ populating the Dll, OCX and EXE’s that uses the specified dll. Please note that this application will not list dynamic dependencies and so we cannot enter ocx or COM dll as “Dll Name”.
