Sometimes you don't want to find the DLL in the documentation. Here is the simple method to check up things: use some binary dump utility, such as DUMPBIN.EXE, which is bundled with all versions of Visual Studio and can be run under Visual Studio command prompt; see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c1h23y6c%28v=vs.71%29.aspx[^].

There is a tool called API Viewer that helps us view these details as well. I often use that.
My 5.

Thank you, Abhinav.
Is it 3rd-party something?

Naah - it used to come with the Visual Studio install before .Net.
