Why am I getting linker errors for ws2_32.dll in my C program?

Question

I am writing my program in Visual Studio 2010. I cannot associate a file with a name ws2_32.dllwith my project.

Can someone tell me how can I do this?

Answer 1

Usually you do not refer to ws2_32.dll directly , but to WS2_32.Lib, which you can find in the Windows SDK. Therefore, in the code you write

#include <winsock2.h>

and you add WS2_32.Lib to your linker settings, and you're good to go.

Windows SDK is here:
