My simple little Visual C++ Express program is reporting an error described as

"unresolved externals"

What does this mean, and where should I go looking for a problem?

Thank you,

Keith

Please post the source code that produced the error. As it is "simple
little...", post it in its entirety.

One quick WAG. If your program is ISO C++, Express supports only C++/CLI
natively, and you also need the Microsoft Platform SDK. Read here:

This is an old article for VC 2005 EE!

Starting with VC2008 EE, the PSDK is already included and the compiler
also has full support for C/C++!

I never recommend to use C++/CLI! This makes (in most cases) no sence.

Hello,

Thank you for your response. I stumbled upon the answer.
In on place I referred to one of the variables to be passed, as a type int
and in the corresponding function call, referred to it as a double. Once I
set them both to the same type, the function worked.

Thank you,

Thanks for the correction, Jochen.
That's what I get for basing as assumption on old information ;-)
