I am getting the following error. error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __localtime64_s On searching on the internet i found that there is a library WINMM.LIB which is needed to be included. So i added this library in the project options. But,it still does not help. Can somebody help in this?

A:
The _s suffix indicates that its actually probably one of the "safe" apis added to Visual Studio 2005 or 2008. There are two leading _'s - the first indicates the function decoration - an extern "C" function using the __cdecl calling convention. The next '_' inidcates that the functions is an OEM (Microsoft in this case) extension to the c-runtime library.
Specifically it seems to be a worker function invoked from 'Program Files\Visual Studio\VS\include\time.inl' when the safe 'localtime' function is called.
So, at a guess I would say that you are not linking in the c-runtime libraries correctly into your application. Are you using any options like "exclude default libraries" or are excluding any specific libraries in your projects settings?

where to check if the default libraries are excluded?

right click on the project in the solution explorer, choose properties, and go to the linker settings. Under Configuration Properties->Linker->Input are two settings: Ignore All Default Libraries and Ignore Specific Library that may be causing problems.
