Linking static library

[user123]

I am trying to link my own library (.lib file) to a new project.
I've found millions of guides with all kinds of different explanations,I am reallyconfused rigght now.
I am using Visual Studio 2013.
How do I link my .lib file to the current project?
I need clear steps, any guide/tutorial confuses me even more.

In Solution Explorer, right click on the project => Add => Existing Item => ...
(and select your .lib file as the item to be added).

I did that, but it still shows red lines whenever I use my libraries' functions...

It says:
"Error: name followed by :: must be a class or namespace name"

Nevermind, I fucked around with those complicated settings and got it to pseudo-work.
Now I got another problem: "Error: Name space MyLib has no member TestFunc"...
While I clearly declared that function in my library...

Did you also declare the function (MyLib::TestFunc) in the header for your library (which you are #include ing in the program that uses the library)?
