<p>Use the <b>Project &gt; Freeze Exports</b> menu command to freeze a entire project, normally a DLL, to ensure backward compatibility of a new release. The result is a .def file that can be imported into other projects. You cannot freeze a single file of the project, only the entire project. Also, once a project is frozen, only new exports can be added. </p>

<p class="note">  <b>NOTE</b> A .def file must be included in the project target to export a project. The IDE will not create one if it is missing.</p>
