    [RESOLVED]LNK2019 unresolved external symbol problem

    Hi,

    I'm new to c++ and have an issue with the LNK2019 error. I've done some googling and as of yet haven't found a solution to my problem. So here I am!!

    The exact error I receive is: error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: void __thiscall ProductInfo::create_product(int)" (?create_product@ProductInfo@@QAEXH@Z) referenced in function _wmain OOSD_Assignment.obj OOSD_Assignment

    Essentially as soon as I add any datetypes to the function call's in the .h file it throws a wobbler, e.g. here: void create_product(int);



    and the code for you:

    ProductInfo.h ----->

    #include "stdafx.h"
    #include <iostream>
    //#include <windows.h>
    #include <string.h>
    using namespace std;

    class ProductInfo
    {
    public:

    //std::string inp_model;


    void create_product(int);

    };



    ProductInfo.cpp ------>

    //ProductInfo.cpp - Our class that holds information about the products

    #include "stdafx.h"
    #include <iostream>
    //#include <string.h>
    using namespace std;

    int price;

    void create_product(int input_price) {
    price = input_price;

    }



    Project1.cpp -------->


    #include "stdafx.h"
    #include "ProductInfo.h"
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string.h>

    //int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]

    using namespace std;

    int _tmain()
    {

    //std::string xx("hello");
    int xx = 100293;
    ProductInfo test;

    test.create_product(xx);


    return 0;
    }



    Cheers.

    Dave

    Re: LNK2019 unresolved external symbol problem

    create_product is defined as a member of ProductInfo, but not implemented that way.

    Would you mind elaborating GCDEF? An example would be useful.

    Cheers,

    Dave.

    This
    Code:
    void create_product(int input_price) {
    price = input_price;
    
    }
    needs to be
    Code:
    void ProductInfo::create_product(int input_price) {
    price = input_price;
    
    }
    to indicate that your implementation is a member of the ProductInfo class.

    Re: LNK2019 unresolved external symbol problem

    Ahh, that figures. I do however get a different error now:

    error C2653: 'ProductInfo' : is not a class or namespace name

    Any ideas on how I'd go about fixing that one?

    Ta,

    Dave.

    never mind. I hadn't included the header file either.

    Thanks for all your help.
