The requirement is that the static library built with VS-20XY needs to be linked successfully for building an application using either VS2015, VS2017 or VS2019.
What is suitable version of VS-20XY?(considering End of life and version compatibility)
Can static library built with VS2019 be linked to an application which is being built with VS2015?
