Linking with inline methods

[0v3rloader]

Hello, I was wondering if any of you CPers know how to solve this problem i've come across with. I've defined about four or so methods in this class of mine as inline and, it appears, the linker cannot find the method's definitions in the .OBJ. The only way of solving this issue is by NOT defining the method(s) as inline. How do I do about solving this, while at the same time keeping inline declaration? Thanks a lot David Linker Error:

inline methods must come in headers. Are you by chance defining the method in some .cpp instead? Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo Want a Boost forum in Code Project? Vote here[^]!

Yes, that is true. I have defined it in the class declaration - in the header file - and I've coded the method(s) in the actual source file (.cpp) . I take it you mean I can't insert the code in the source file but only in the header? David BTW, thanks for the reply
