Before Visual C++ 6.0, the only way to load a DLL at run time was by using **LoadLibrary** and **GetProcAddress**; the operating system would load the DLL when the executable or DLL using it was loaded.

Beginning with Visual C++ 6.0, when statically linking with a DLL, the linker provides options to delay load the DLL until the program calls a function in that DLL.
Beginning with Visual C++ 6.0, when implicitly linking with a DLL, the linker provides options to delay load the DLL until the program calls a function in that DLL.

An application can delay load a DLL using the [/DELAYLOAD (Delay Load Import)](../../build/reference/delayload-delay-load-import.md) linker option with a helper function (default implementation provided by Visual C++). The helper function will load the DLL at run time by calling **LoadLibrary** and **GetProcAddress** for you.
