title: How to use .lib, .dll and .exp file in VC++?
body: <p>I'm trying to solve linear systems of equations with <strong><a href="http://www.pardiso-project.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">pardiso</a></strong>. I have downloaded everything I might need from the website ( three files: .lib, .dll and .exp files).</p>
  <p>I know what's dll and lib, and know nothing about .exp. Moreover, I search the internet and find out I need a header file. But <strong>pardiso</strong> doesn't provide me .h file.</p>
  <p>What's more, <strong>pardiso</strong> provides some examples among which I want to use <a href="http://www.pardiso-project.org/manual/pardiso_unsym.cpp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.pardiso-project.org/manual/pardiso_unsym.cpp</a>.</p>
  <p>Now comes my problem. How do I use .lib/.dll/.exp files in VC++ 2015 without header file? I know there are two ways to load .dll file: dynamically and statically, but have no idea how to implement.</p>
  <p>Maybe my problem is quite easy because I don't know much about C/C++ and dll. So please kindly help me.</p>
  <p>Thank you so much!</p>
