Re: passing a string to a dll

OK, I figured it was worth asking :o)

I'd bet one of the files the linker is trying to use is not found so being ignored and references in it are causing the errors.

Yes, in my view, where I call the DLL function, I have:

#include "Debug\TestDLL\DLLRect.h"

Just a guess, but did you include the header file for the DLL.

Thank you all for your help.

I have now specified unicode in the dll, so it should match up with the application.
I have, for now at least, chosen to use CString& in both the dll and the application.

Please remember that I am not nearly as trained in depth as you all are, and therefore cannot make complete sense of what I am now presented with:

Room 101View.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: bool __thiscall DLLRect::PullWhisker(class CString &)" (__imp_?PullWhisker@DLLRect@@QAE_NAAVCString@@@Z)
