I have a small console EXE and DLL, both compiled with the single-threaded debug version of the runtime library. All classes in the DLL are exported and I link to the import library in the EXE. However, I get an application failed to initialize error (0xc0000005) when trying to run the EXE in the IDE or from the command line and the program fails to run. I know it's probably something simple I'm doing wrong or missing, but how do I get around this so I can see that my EXE is actually using the DLL? Thanks.

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
