The library is implemented in C++. You just include it in your Visual C++ project and use the API.

"Are optimized BLAS libraries available? Where can I find optimized BLAS libraries?" :

"Is there a C interface to the BLAS?" :

Here is an installer for GSL for Windows which includes its own C blas as well as many other useful things. It's packaged for use with the MinGW compiler, but you might be able to use it with VC++ too, with a little effort.

If I were to answer the solution I would have said the following :-
1) Install VC++ 2005 and Intel MKL (for trial period).
2) Follow the link http://www.intel.com/suppo
3)Read the guide http://www.dcsc.sdu.dk/doc
4)I would have also provided a sample working (hello) program.
Just providing a random link with insufficient information won't do.
I have seen those links even before posting question at expert-exchange.
Thank you.

>> Just providing a random link with insufficient information won't do.
What I posted is not a random link. netlib.org is the official (reference) site for BLAS. The FAQ I mentioned explains how to use it in C, which was exactly what your question was. They defined a C interface, and all information about it is mentioned in that link.
Others have posted specific implementations.
The solution you mention is Intel and Visual C++ specific. Next time, you could be more specific about what it is you need from us. Rather than asking how to use BLAS in C, you could say that you need specific step-by-step instructions for a specific architecture and a specific compiler/IDE, including installation of the IDE, and a working example. None of that was in your question, so you can't blame us for not knowing what you really wanted.
Hi jdpipe
I am not doing commercial development, it is college research.
My question was :
is BLAS are available in VC++ 2005 or 2008 express edition?
And i found one solution by myself.
if you can't understand the question or if you are not capable of answering the question, you better go away. If you are suggesting somebody, imagine yourself in that person's shoes. Just providing a random link or fake suggestion fora beginner may reward you points but not the solution for the seeker.
If you are so much worried about your points, let me know I can reward you all 500 points! ha.
You should first of all learn professionalism in your manners.
You need to apologize me.
