Hello, I am making a form application in C++. Going off to a good start, however, I don't like the way Microsoft's generated code has methods in the .h file. So I am moving them to the .cpp file (see link code, sry for length). But I get 2 compiler errors saying:
Error 1 error LNK2020: unresolved token (06000004) ResearchHelper.ResearchHelper::ResearchHelper_Load C:\Users\emc2v_000\Documents\CHS-OSSD\Research Helper++\Research Helper++\Research Helper.obj Research Helper++
And the other saying:
Error 2 error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals C:\Users\emc2v_000\Documents\CHS-OSSD\Research Helper++\Debug\Research Helper++.exe Research Helper++
This is my code:
.h:
