Build Succeeded, but no .lib file gets created

Question

I inherited a substantial amount of code, including a visual studio project that is supposed to (as best as I can tell) build a .lib file. Visual studio says \"... Generating C

Answer 1

In the DLL project, put __declspec(dllexport) beginnings of methods defined in .h and .cpp files.

After all, compile your dll again, so .lib file will be generated and ready for linking.

put Class Foo
{
public:
    __declspec(dllexport) int GetFoo() const;
