Possible to link to different projects together?

[rover_boy]

I'm new to Visual C++ and am creating a windows form application. I was wondering if it was possible to link a console application which is written in C but stored in C++ files to a windows form? So for example if I clicked a button in the Windows Form application then this would run the console application?

Didn't you ask this question an hour or so ago? If so, this time it makes more sense. In your onclick event handler, you can use CreateProcess or ShellExecute to run the console program. Iain.

It seems that you need to ShellExecute for run other applications of your program.(anyway you didnt answer to my reply on your previous question ;) ).

Thanks for the help I might not need to do that if I can solve the error LNK1152

Thanks for the reply before you replied I just got the error LNK1152 so not sure if I should try to solve this or use the ShellExecute

Please explain.

I have client class written in C saved into C++ files. This class is to connect to a server. I want to use this code which connects to the server in my GUI which is created using windows forms. I have added Additional Dependencies to the windows form project. The problem is when I include these .cpp code files to the windows form project I get the error LNK1152. I also get warning messages: "This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using sprintf_s instead. To disable deprecation, use CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS" I'm looking into ShellExecute to solve my problem

Again, be specific. We're not mind readers.

Then you will likely need to remove the aforementioned code as it would no longer be needed.

Did you get this error when you used of ShellExecute?
