WinPcap Visual C++

Hello,

I have setup Visual C++ Express for use with WinPcap following the guide on the winpcap site ( http://www.winpcap.org/docs/docs_412...pcapsamps.html ). When I test a console app using winpcap, it will run fine, so I know it is setup properly. However, I have started to make a windows forms version of the console app. I put all the winpcap functions i made in a seperate header (functions.h) and I include this in the main form header. I haven't used the functions in the main header yet, only included them. I get a linker error:

Code:

---

please help!

This Forum is for VC++, not for "windows forms" problems. So either ask it in "Managed C++/CLI" Forum or. at least provide more info about your IDE version and you Application type and, probably, source code.

im not going to re-post it elsewhere. my IDE is Visual C++ 2010 Express. The program works fine as a "Win32 console application" but under windows forms application I get the linker errors above.
thanks.

I am awfully sorry, but again:
the "windows forms application" problems are discussed in another Forum.

does it mean you've created a new project?

if so, did you repeat these steps?

--- Set the options of the linker to include the wpcap.lib library file specific for your target (x86 or x64). wpcap.lib for x86 can be found in the \lib folder of the WinPcap developer's pack, wpcap.lib for x64 can be found in the \lib\x64 folder.
--- Set the options of the linker to include the winsock library file ws2_32.lib. This file is distributed with the C compiler and contains the socket functions for Windows. It is needed by some functions used by the samples in the tutorial.

Thanks for the reply. I have repeated all steps to setup the compiler and linker for winpcap. And yes, I created a new project.
