Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I ended up dragging qpidmessaging.lib and qpidtypes.lib from the RelWithDebInfo directory into the project in VS and that did the trick.
Just a marginal question: Now I can use qpid::messaging::Message::getContentObject() but it's still printed as bytes in ASCII. Does that mean that the message cannot be represented as a map or list? (I'm inspecting messages sent from a third party that appear to be C++ maps).
