C++ compile error

[Amaranthine]

I am writing a windows application and have done a fair amount on it. I was creating a function and decided that I would write it in assembly to speed it up (__asm{ }). I tried to compile it, but the linker gave me an error. I commented out everything new I had added, but it still gave me an error. I then saved the copy and completely removed what I had added. I used the build > clean option and when I compiled, it still gave me the same error.

Here is the error:

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall CTextDialog::CTextDialog(class CWnd *)" (??0CTextDialog@@QAE@PAVCWnd@@@Z)
Debug/Sketcher.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

(I am using visual C++ 6)

What does it mean, and any suggestions on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated. (I assume the crazy symbols are function and variable decoration, though I'm not posititve)

Thanks in advance.

You might have declared (defined) a method (member function) but not yet implemented it.
Vice versa is also possible. Did you declare it in its class?

Thankyou endlessly, I went back to look over it and found that it didn't exist (in the project anyway) I simply added the .h and .cpp implementation files and it compiled and linked perfectly.

No sweat .

By the way, where should I post a CISC assembly question?

misc coding will do =)
