Creating Dll in VC++ 2008

[srija]

hi everybody
Can anybody tell me how to resolve the following error??
I created dll and trying to use the dll in another project.

unresolved external symbol "public: static int __cdecl Dll::add(int,int)" (?add@Dll@@SAHHH@Z) referenced in function _main



I copied and pasted the .lib and.h and .dll file in the new project folder and using the code as

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: static double __cdecl MyMathFuncs::Add(double,double)" (?Add@MyMathFuncs@@SANNN@Z) referenced in function _main


#include "Dll.h"
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
double a = 7.4;
int b = 99;

cout << "a + b = " <<
MyMathFuncs::Add(a, b) << endl;
}



thanking you in advance

I think in case of dll you need to add the dll to the reference of your project.....do this go to solution explore of your project....there will be references in that...left click on that reference ....you will get add referecne ....in that add the correspoding dll in that......

Good Luck

so that i just copied paste the path of those files and folders.

sry i dont have youtube access......Anyway thanku for the help

But i think thr is no need of dll file for project because if we attach the .lib file it will automatically call the .dll file at runtime i think.
but my problem is how to attach the .lib file and directory to the project..........

you can add the library by right clicking on project ->properties->Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies-> (add your library over here)
then do apply ->ok
