I am getting the fatal error. I tell what I did:
I am able to create dll file with class.
1. Added .h file in my project
2. Make "Add Dependecy" for dll file in linker settings.
When I try to run, compiler says "invalid or corrupt file: cannot read at 0x2B0"
Code for dll (.h):
--------------------------------------------------------------------
#ifdef CPPDLL_EXPORTS
#define CPPDLL_API __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define CPPDLL_API __declspec(dllimport)
#endif
// This class is exported from the CppDll.dll
class CPPDLL_API CCppDll
{
public:
CCppDll(void);
int sum(int a,int b);
//virtual int goo(int x)=0;
};
dll code for (.cpp)
----------------------------------------------------------
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "samdll.h"
int CCppDll::sum(int x , int y)
{
return x+y;
}
Am I correct?

Well, you have to add the .lib file in the linker settings...

1. But I need to use only .h and .dll file then why .lib file is needed.
2. After adding lib file instaed of dll file, I am getting the error:
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: __thiscall CCppDll::CCppDll(void)" (__imp_??0CCppDll@@QAE@XZ) referenced in function "public: __thiscall MyDer::MyDer(void)" (??0MyDer@@QAE@XZ)

You have declared a constructor in the header file but have not added its implementation in the code file.
It's time for a new signature.

Unless you link explicitely with the DLL (i.e. using LoadLibrary) you have to use the (generated: you have it) .lib file.

The compiler (the linker, actually) is right, of course, you didn't provide the class constructor implementation.

Hi Pallini,
I am able to do that...
But I need to do with dll and .h file.....
|

I suggest you start by reading some tutorials about dll, it seems you are missing some really important concepts here.
When you want to load a dll, you have two options, either you load it explicitely by calling LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress or you load it implicitely (which is in general easier) and in which case you need to have a lib file to link with. This lib is in fact an import library which is used to load the dll.

Thanks for reply...I used LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress to call the exported function but how to use with the class?
I dont know..please guide...
|
|

You can't use LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress to call a method from a class.
Your only option would be to call a function which instantiate the class and returns it, but it doesn't make a lot of sense. And what does it have to do with virtual function anyway ?
I really think you need to read more about C++ basics like classes. It seems you are missing some important concepts here and it's almost impossible to help you.

Ok,Thanks a lot.
Actually somebody has given me a DLL file which is having some normal function and some pure virtual function inside a class
and telling to define the pure virtual function inside my code.
Thats why I was confused. I am sorry to ask silly questions.
It means It is not possible with a dll to do so?
|

If the class has some pure virtual functions in it, then it means that you have to make a class that inherits from it and provide the methods which are missing.
Now, the fact that this class comes from a dll means that the class has to be exported. And importing a class from a dll works only with implicit loading, which means you must have an import lib file with the dll.
Now, on the other hand if the full code of the class resides only in the header file, then the fact that it is a dll doesn't change anything. You simply include the header file in your code and create a class that inherits from that class. But of course, this will only be useful if the dll provides a way to "register" your class with the rest of the code of the dll.

You got an unsatisfactory answer, because you posted an unsatisfactory question. Being a programmer (you're posting here, after all), you should expect the same stimulus will get the same response...
What is the gap in your knowledge that needs filling in?
Are you happy with inheritance, and abstract member functions?
Can you make a classic DLL? If not, there are articles here on codeproject that can help, as well as lots of help on the MSDN pages.
If you can export a function from a DLL, exporting a class is not much harder. Underneath, it just ends up being a bunch of ugly-named [*] exported functions anyway.
If you can do that, then just mark some abstract, or =0 as appropriate:
class CMyClass
{
public:
void MyMemberFunction () = 0;
...
};
In the executable or dll that loads your dll, the programmer will have to inherit from your abstract class before they can use it - but that's true even if all the classes are in the same module.
I might be expecting too much - maybe you're only marking your member functions as virtual, in which case you have no problems at all.

Good luck,

Hi all,
Im having .avi format files...how to transcode it using ffmpeg??
Any idea??
|
|
|
|
|
I assume you mean programatically, take a look at DirectShow[^].

Yes I need programatically.
Actually,I have written Mpeg4,mjpeg,h264 files into AVI container using AVIStreamWrite()..
(VFW.H).
Now,i want to transcode this AVI container format to mp4 container.
I have seen that ffmpeg tool is used for this purpose.
can u give me an example code??
Thanx.

I'm sorry, i misunderstood you, i thought you "simply" wanted to make mpegs of avi files, it didn't get to me that you explicitly want to use ffmpeg, i never used ffmpeg so i have no experience/examples whatsoever for it. Sorry...

Please do not post the same question in more than one forum; select one and stick to it.

What does this mean? We have no way of guessing what you are referring to here. Does your code compile successfully, do you get an error, exception, system crash ... ?

hi
if i am running from exe its not working...

And you still believe I can guess what's wrong?
