Templates

[yoggi]

I d like to create templates properly with Visual C++, I mean without including all the code when I use a template class instance. On the one hand Visual Studio help is not that clear about that: it advises to use a dll but I have linkage errors by doing so. On the other hand, Stroustrup advises to use keyword export in his C++ language book but this keyword doesn't happen to exist for Visual C++. What are the solution I should use?
Thanks for all your answers

You can't use templates is dll's exports. John Fill

Thanks for your answer. But do you know how to do to link templates properly. My method is now creating include files in all the files where I need a template class. But it is definitely not the good solution. Any idea? Please don t hesitate sending me some solutions.

if you're using some templates in dll and viceversa, you must use the same templates in exe and viceversa. John Fill
