    #pragma comment lib

    Hello everyone,


    Just want to confirm whether my understanding is correct.

    The statement in source file,

    Code:
    #pragma comment(lib, "DLL1.lib")
    has the same effect (as an alternative approach) of set DLL1.lib as implicit link library input in project link settings? So, we choose either one method to configure implicit linking input library?


    thanks in advance,
    George

    That's what I figure since it's what the documentation says (passes a linker command to the linker).

    Yes, that's right.
