Turn off Water

If any pipes are leaking or broken, turn off the water immediately to prevent further leakage and damage. There should be a turn off handle behind the toilet, but if the leak is somewhere you may have to turn off the water for the whole house.

Remove Water

If there is any or a lot of water in the area, take the time to remove all of it before cleaning. Use towels, rags, a shop vac, or anything you can to make sure you get every bit.

Dry Items

Wipe down all walls, wood paneling, and any wood furniture in the room. Moist wood can mold and produce moisture quickly, causing a mold problem. It’s important to have every thing dried off in advance. After drying everything and removing all water, let everything dry off for a little while before beginning to clean.

Ventilate

Turn on the ceiling vent fan if you have one in the bathroom, and open any windows in or near the area as well. The more airflow, the better so also bring in any floor fans you have as well.

Launder Fabrics

Any towels, bath rugs, or any other launder-able item needs to dried and laundered immediately. Put on gloves and squeeze out any extra water.

Remove Debris

If there is any debris or dirt in the area, put on some gloves and boots and remove it as carefully and quickly as possible. Use industrial garbage bags and one-time use rags (You can get bags or boxes of industrial paper towels or rags at auto supplies stores for cheap) to clean and clear all the dirt away.

Sanitize

Make a basic mixture of bleach and water and go over all the walls, floors, and even ceiling with it. You can do this in parts (with all windows open!) because the smell will be strong, and the fumes aren’t really good for you.

Clean Normally

Once you’ve removed the debris and de-sanitized, you’ll have to wait awhile for the fumes to clear. Once this is done, get your regular bathroom cleaners and gloves and go through and clean like you would normally. Pay special attention to any wood paneling at the bottom of the sink and around anything touching the floor.

Check for Mold

With any water damage, there’s always a risk of mold. Once clean, go around the bathroom and check for signs of mold or structure damage. Feel the walls to make sure they aren’t soft, and look for any sort of discoloration. If you’re unsure, call in a water damage expert to take a look.

DLL stands for Dynamic Link Library and is a file format created by Microsoft to get the concept of a shared library into full force in Microsoft Windows or the OS2 operating system. These files can also have the extensions OCX and DRV depending on the kind of files that they store. OCX is for files that contain ActiveX controls and DRV for system drivers. The DLL file format is composed in the exactly same way as the EXE file formats of Windows. The three major components of the DLL file format are code, data and resources which can be preset in any form and in any combination. What the DLL file format allows you to do is that it lets two programs using the same code run at the same time without the code being included in both the programs. This is what used to happen in earlier versions of Microsoft Windows. Here, the common or the shared code can be saved in a single file and can be accessed easily at the time of need when both the files using it get linked.

The great thing about a DLL file is that the code that is used by a number of files can be stored singly in a single unit of memory and does not need to be stored separately for each file that uses the DLL code. However, the exactly opposite thing happens in data sections. Each data section has its own private space. This is what makes the DLL file format extremely useful and handy. For linking files in the DLL format you have to import libraries. This can be done using C++ or Visual Basic or even Delphi and C. after the linking is done then you can use it to save space and perform more efficiently.
