DLLs can contain "resources" (the good old "rc" files) and resources can contain raw data (See LoadResource and LoadLibrary).

In fact you have to create a DLL project with no source and just a resource script in it.

Your applications will load the DLL and extract the resources from it.

You may declare variables as in you do in a standard application. However, if you need to share data among the different processes linked with the DLL, then have a look at: "How do I share data in my DLL with an application or with other DLLs"?
