How to statically link the dll files into my exe application?

[Larry James]

I have successfully compiled and can use the Connector/C++ driver on my computer. I'm using Visual Studio 2010.

I had some problems because there were conflicting versions of the dll files in various paths on my machine. I know I can resolve this by always insuring that the proper version is always in the same directory as the exe program. But to make it even easier for my clients using my application, I'm trying to learn how to actually statically link the dlls into my application the same way the lib files are linked.

Can someone advise me if this is possible and how to do it?

Thanks in advance for your input on this matter.
