can dlls be statically linked

I have statically linked .libs statically. I wanted to know whether dlls can be statically linked ??

Did you mean this?

After putting the .dll,.lib,.h and then building the client is it possible to run the client without the dll. Or is it possible to build the client without the .lib file.

My Answer will be No.
DLLs are meant to be linked dinamically.
even after building the application.
DLLs are needed to run the application.
that is my view.

cheers
