• Visual C++ How to link to the correct STL library when a third party dll is based on VC6?

  I have a third party dll targeted for VC6 and .net 2003. It worked well with my old MFC application.

I guess it might be linked to the stl.net library instead of the old stl library that the dll is based on. Anyone knows what is the problem  and how it c ...Show All
