Visual C or C# Express 2010

[boematic2003]

I am working on a Win7 x64 system with VC++ 2010 Express (or VC# 2010 Express) and I can't get any of the examples to link.  For instance I've taken the niSwitchMakingConnectionsOnASwitch example and put in the include directories and library paths as instructed in the NI-Switch Help but it won't link.  I am getting unresolved external symbol errors: 

1>niSwitchErrorHandler.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _niSwitch_GetError@16 referenced in function _niSwitch_ErrorHandler
1>niSwitchMakingConnectionsOnASwitch.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _niSwitch_close@4 referenced in function _main
1>niSwitchMakingConnectionsOnASwitch.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _niSwitch_WaitForDebounce@8 referenced in function _main
1>niSwitchMakingConnectionsOnASwitch.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _niSwitch_Connect@12 referenced in function _main
1>niSwitchMakingConnectionsOnASwitch.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _niSwitch_InitWithTopology@20 referenced in function _main

I get this no matter what paths I have in the "Additional Library Directories" in my Project->Linker->General options.  What library paths do I need to include for a x64 machine?  There seems to be several \msc folders in \Program Files and \Program Files (x86) but none of the paths resolve my conflicts.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Boematic, 

Have you tried to perform this same linking process with other examples from LabVIEW?

No I haven't tried any of the other examples.

I found some C# code that I've been able to modify and get working.  I would have preferred to use C++ but this will do.

Regards.

Hi Boe,

Did you tell Visual C to link against the import library? Setting the library directory is not enough. See http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370388Y-01/switch/niswitch_c/

I also need this information for my work. Thanks.

Hi glinskin,

Did the manual page that I linked in my previous reply have the information you need?
