C程序中的链接器错误

Question

I am trying to code c program that uses Win32 api to display message box, but i am getting this linker error. How could it be resolved?

code :

#include<windows.h>

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,HINSTANCE hPrevsInstance,LPSTR SZCmdLine,int iCmdShow)
{
    MessageBox(NULL,TEXT("hello"),TEXT("this is me"),MB_ICONEXCLAMATION |  MB_OK);
   return 0;
}

error:

Getting started with the correct project template is 99% of the Hello World problems. You didn't, this code got compiled by the C++/CLI compiler. File + New Project and select the Win32 + Win32 Project template. – Hans Passant
