[ASAP]: Exporting CString in DLL

Hi,

I worte a dll that exports the following function (all C++):

void TestFunc(int a, CString b);

this builds fine, but unfortunately, linking to this DLL does not work
(LNK2019). The problem seems to be the CString parameter...but I don't know
why (if I remove all CString parameters in my functions, everything works
fine).

All DLLs are compiled by the same compiler (VS2005) and are MFC (stat.
link.) DLLs. Isn't it possible to use CString in exported functions...any
ideas?

Thanks,

Peter
