title: Link a static library to a DLL
body: <p>I am using Visual Studio 5.0
  I have DLL and a static library . My intention is to use a static function that is defined in the static library . I have included the header file in the intended source cpp and also given the path in the project dependencies . Still it gives me linker errors .</p>
  
  <p>Following is the linker error</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: static bool __cdecl gph::IsA(class PtOnDemand &amp;,wchar_t const *)" (?IsA@gph@@SA_NAAVPtOnDemand@@PB_W@Z) referenced in function "private: int __thiscall PtXMLP::HandleObjectBegin(char const *,char const * *)" (?HandleObjectBegin@PtXMLP@@AAEHPBDPAPBD@Z)
