It depends. The Project Configuration in the IDE has a setting to tell whether your ATL project should link to ATL statically or dynamically. This affects only a small part of ATL though — most of it is templates, so including the header in your code is all that’s needed. There are a few bits and pieces that can/do go in a library though, and the setting will govern whether those come from a DLL or a static library.
