hello all,
I have to create a dll file which can be used in .NET thats why i have choosen ATL project to create dll file.
Im developing dll(using VC++.NET 2005) which inturn uses Adobe XMP SDK API's. My basic intention is to use fewer API to ensure that everything goes fine.
Im new to this and as i got the idea i have included all XMP SDK header and libraries in VC++.NET. I have to include a header "XMP.hpp" use XMP API's in project. After that i could easily access the classes and methods of XMP. Even i have succedded over compilation but as soon as i starts building the project it starts throwing 100+ linking errors in .obj file.
I dont know what is going wrong with this. I have edited only dllreadxmp.cpp and dllreadxmp.h files all others as same as generated by compiler.

dllreadxmp.cpp

//a=SXMPMeta::Initialize();

//a=SXMPFiles::Initialize();
return _AtlModule.DllMain(dwReason, lpReserved); 



}
#ifdef _MANAGED
#pragma managed(pop)
#endif
 
 
 
// Used to determine whether the DLL can be unloaded by OLE
STDAPI DllCanUnloadNow(void)
{
return _AtlModule.DllCanUnloadNow();
}

return _AtlModule.DllGetClassObject(rclsid, riid, ppv);
}

return hr;
}

return hr;
}

and sample errorr looks like :

Im getting around 104 errors like this.

Any help i would be appriciated....Please do help as Im stuck over here for a long time.

Thanking you in advance.

Arun

you probably should post your question on adobe's "user to user" forum.
