Linker error when using TinyXml2 in VS2010

[vigneshrams]

Hi Lee,

I am using TinyXML already which is working great. Thought of trying TinyXML2 but when i created a sample project and added tinyxm2.cpp/tinyxml.h and when complied i get linker errors as,
tinyxml2.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: void __cdecl tinyxml2::XMLText::SetCData(bool)" (_imp?SetCData@XMLText@tinyxml2@@QEAAX_N@Z) referenced in function "public: char * __cdecl tinyxml2::XMLDocument::Identify(char *,class tinyxml2::XMLNode * *)" (?Identify@XMLDocument@tinyxml2@@QEAAPEADPEADPEAPEAVXMLNode@2@@z)

Can you share the sample project file? I'm using VS2010 and have had no issues so far.

[vigneshrams]

thanks a lot. I got it resolved myself.

@vigneshrams can you tell us how you resolved it? I'm coming across this as well.
