today screen plugin build problem

[Milsnips]

hi there,

i downloaded the todayscreen sample from MSDN, opened the
"TodayScreenSupport_Unmanaged" project,upgraded the code when it opened in
VS2005, and when i compile, i get the following error:

--------------------------------
Error 1 fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file
'..\TodayScreenDataMgr\ArmRel\TodayScreenDataMgr.lib'
TodayScreenPlugIn_NETCFHost
--------------------------------

i have never used vC++ before and have got no idea why this error is
showing, nor how do i point it to the correct location.
the related lib file is created and built (along with the dll) in the
TodayScreenDataMgr project, which i also have in my solution.

please help?

thanks,
Paul.

Hi, thats a problem with the linker. You have to tell him where to
find the *.lib file.
In Visual Studio 2005 solution explorer right-click on the
"TodayScreenSupport_Unmanaged"
project and select 'References'. Look for 'Configuration Properties' -

'Linker' -> 'Input' and then

choose 'Additional Dependencies' and tell him where to find the *.lib
That should do it
