Build: Win7 vs Win2008

NTDEV
1

Hello,

I had vsprintf( ) in my driver code and there wasa warning for it. So I had
changed it to vsprintf_s( ). If I use Win7-x64 build environment,
everything compiles fine but when I use Win2008-X64 build, then I get the
following errors. I would like to use both the build environment and have
a generic method. Any suggestions?

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol vsprintf_s
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol wcscpy_s
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol swprintf_s

Thanks in advance!
-Raj P.

Use the safe string methods of RtlString* or RtlUnicodeString* …

Ntstrsafe.lib contains an implementation of vsnprintf_s, but the Rtl routines Kenny suggested are a better choice
