Remarks

The /NOENTRY option is required for creating a resource-only DLL that contains no executable code. For more information, see Creating a Resource-Only DLL.

Use this option to prevent LINK from linking a reference to _main into the DLL.

To set this linker option in the Visual Studio development environment

  1. Open the project's Property Pages dialog box. For details, see Set C++ compiler and build properties in Visual Studio.

  2. Select the Configuration Properties > Linker > Advanced property page.

  3. Modify the No Entry Point property.

To set this linker option programmatically

  1. See xref:Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine.VCLinkerTool.ResourceOnlyDLL%2A.
