can't use exported func in a namespace

[happycpp]

hello everyone... i have this thing that drives me crazy..this thing is: i have a dll that exports a function "Func"...and i'm making (in another project) a namespace that has this function...the problem is that i can't use this function in a namespace but i can use it easily if it's not in a namespace...the error reported is LNK2019... what should i do..

Do you mean the function is exported outside any namespace and then tried to import inside a namespace? If so, I guess you're out of luck, namespace location has to coincide. Think of the namespace(s) a function is located into as part of its "name". A workaround could be the following:

// import code

declspec(dllimport) void foo();

namespace A
{
using foo;
}

i'm using the .net ide but i'm not using any new .net managedcode just regular cpp code... the functions in the dll are exported using a .def file... so they have their original names...how can i make a namespace in another project to encapsulate these functions... this is the same thing that microsoft made with GDI+...

i want to do the same thing as Gdi+ dll...
