can you create a lib or dll in VS 2005 and link with VS 2008

I am using visual studio 2008 SP1.

And I am creating a desktop application using MFC.

I have a library I want to link with my application. However, the library was written in WIN32 visual studio 2005.

I am been having a trouble linking:

fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'AgentLib.lib'

I am wondering if it is because I am using MFC 2008 and the library was written and compiled with 2005?

Many thanks for any advice,

  • Make sure you have added the path where your lib files are under project settings in Linker>General>Additional Library Directories
