I''ve got a problem with this DLL. There are about 60 functions in it, but not all of them work. When I use the ''std::wstring'' type as a parameter in one of the functions I get this error when I use it: - unresolved external symbol "bool __cdecl TASFileDup(class std::basic_string,class std::allocator > const &)" - Why? I know some of the other functions work. This might not be enough info to answer my question, but I don''t know what more to tell you. K.

Was the function exported?

Yes, all of the functions are exported using ''__declspec (dllexport)''. I am sure there is some aspect of creating a DLL I haven''t grasped. I declare all of the std::wstring parameters as const. Should this have something to do with it? I was also wondering for a while if it''s impossible to pass references to a DLL function, but I''m sure thats not the reason.

One of the functions is declared like this:

__declspec (dllexport) bool TASFileExists( const std::wstring& strFileName );

Hmm... It''s not a compilation error, it''s linker error (sounds like your code is compiling fine). Did you include the Lib file in the project that uses the DLL?

You are declaring your functions as __declspec(dllimport) in client code, aren''t you?
