title: can you create a lib or dll in VS 2005 and link with VS 2008
body: <p>I am using visual studio 2008 SP1. </p>
  
  <p>And I am creating a desktop application using MFC.</p>
  
  <p>I have a library I want to link with my application. However, the library was written in WIN32 visual studio 2005.</p>
  
  <p>I am been having a trouble linking:</p>
  
  <pre><code>fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'AgentLib.lib'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am wondering if it is because I am using MFC 2008 and the library was written and compiled with 2005?</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks for any advice,</p>
