Figure 1. New Static Library Project
Click OK to create the Static Library project. A default source file with the same name as the project will be added to the solution. You may then write and compile your routines/functions. You can also add new source files or header files to the project.
Open the Project Properties on the menu Project → 'Your_project_name Properties'. This menu item is only available when a Static Library project is open. Select the Build property page. Here you will see that the Artifact Type is selected as Static Library.
Figure 2. Static Library Build Properties
Compile the project by selecting Build Solution from the Build menu. This creates a Static Library, which can be used by other programs.
