MFC DLL using C++ with Visual Studio 2008

Question

Hi! I can't seem to find any walk-trough on how to create a MFC DLL using Visual Studio 2008. My problem is the following. I need to use wininet.h with my DLL and my solution to that was to use MFC DLL. Anyhow trying to link my project gives me 5 Link errors
I believe that the error is of a kind that I need to add Additional Library Directories. But which one should I add?

void ClearHandles(void) //close all open handlers if any

void SetClientCert(void) //try to set a cert if possible

void FindCertWithOUNITName(void) //This function performs a certificate contex search

All help would be appreciated! I would even appreciate links to tutorials or walk-throughs using a DLL with MFC.
