Working with Task Scheduler 1.0 COM API

I am trying to write a simple program in VC ++ that simply initializes the task scheduler. I am following the example suggested on the MSDN site , but I am getting unresolved symbol errors from the linker.

The error is on this line:

 hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_CTaskScheduler,
                           NULL,
                           CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
                           IID_ITaskScheduler,
                           (void **) &pITS);

The error I am getting:

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _CLSID_CTaskScheduler

Same error for _IID_ITaskScheduler

. I have the relevant header files. Do I need to add the dependency to any other DLL?

Thank,

Rohit

OK, found this myself. You need to add mstask.lib as an additional dependency. Go to Project Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies and add mstask.lib. The linker error should be gone.
