title: Static/Dynamic Runtime Linking
body: <p>What are the best practices for choosing the linking method in VC++? Can anything/everything be statically linked?</p>
  
  <p>On a dynamically linked project, is the relative/absolute location of the linked library important? </p>
  
  <p>What are the pros and cons ? </p>
  
  <p><strong>added</strong>: I was mainly referring to lib files. Do they behave same as dll linking?</p>
