My first DLL has many compile errors I don't understand

Question

I am attempting to create my 1st Simple DLL. I have a class(that's a singleton class) & a Window Procedure function that I declare in the DLL & want to import in my project later on. My IDE is Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 & my project is a Win32 DLL one & I have used MSVC++ default DLL template(you know how it creates all the default files when I create the project).

But I am getting these compile errors that I dont understand what is wrong?

My Simple header file:

#ifndef DLLTEST_H
#define DLLTEST_H

#include <windows.h>

// This is from a tutorial I am following
#ifdef _CLASSINDLL
#define CLASSINDLL_CLASS_DECL __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define CLASSINDLL_CLASS_DECL __declspec(dllimport)
#endif

namespace MyTest
{
    LRESULT CALLBACK CLASSINDLL_CLASS_DECL TestWndProc( HWND hwnd, UINT msg, LPARAM lParam, WPARAM wParam );

    class CLASSINDLL_CLASS_DECL TestClass
    {
        // Singleton class
        public:
            static bool testStaticVar;

            static TestClass* getInstance()
            {
                if ( instance == NULL ) { instance = new TestClass(); }
                return instance;
            }

            void add()
            {
                myMember++;
            }

        private:
            static TestClass* instance;
            WNDPROC myProc;
            int myMember;

            TestClass() : myMember(0) { myProc = (WNDPROC)&TestWndProc; }
            ~TestClass()              {}

    };
}

#endif // DLLTEST_H

My simple cpp file:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "DLLTest.h"

namespace MyTest
{
    // Create/Initialise? Class Static variables
    bool TestClass::testStaticVar = false;
    TestClass* TestClass::instance = NULL;

    LRESULT CALLBACK TestWndProc( HWND hwnd, UINT msg, LPARAM lParam, WPARAM wParam )
    {
        switch (msg)
        {
            case WM_CREATE:
            {

            }
            break;
            default:
            break;
        }

        return DefWindowProc(hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam);
    }

}

I think you are missing _CLASSINDLL preprocessor definition. Add it in Project -> Properties -> C/C++ -> Preprocessor -> Preprocessor Definitions.
