Hi,

I am developing an application for interfacing a USB device. When I compile my code I get the following errors. I had included "hidsdi.h" and "hid.lib" is downloaded and pasted in the local directory.

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _HidD_GetAttributes@8 referenced in function _main
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _HidD_GetHidGuid@4 referenced in function _connectToUSBDevice

Can anyone help me with this bug.

Regards
Mohan

Pasting the hid.lib file in the local directory is not enough. You need to add the hid.lib to the link input.

try:

Just go to project properties -> Configuration properties -> Linker.
Goto to ->General and set the "Additional Library directories" to point to your lib file directory.

Then goto to Linker -> Input and type in your lib file name e.g. hid.lib in the "Additional Dependencies" field
