Documentation on writing DLLs is pretty easily come by at the bookstore. 
I think most Visual C++ tutorial books should have a chapter or so on that.

As for the .def and .mak files, if version 4.0 is anything like earlier
versions, just go ahead and create a new project.  When you have a chance
to change the Application type, make it a DLL, and then add all the code
files you need in your project.  The framework takes care of creating a
.mak file for you.  As for the .def file, if you don't add one to your
project, it should ask if you would like one automatically generated on
the first compile.  Do so, and then tweak it to your needs.

Hope that wasn't just a pile of twaddle.
