The fact that the examples compile and link fine means that the 
Xerces-C++ libraries are fine and there is something wrong with
the converted project. I can't think of anything off the top of
my head so I suggest that you try to see what is different in
terms of compiler/linker settings between your project and one
of the examples. Things that I would check first are:

1. Make sure the "Treat wchar_t as built-in type" option is set to
   the same value.

2. Make sure that the same Xerces-C++ library is linked and in the
   same way.

3. Check that the same generated code type is used (e.g., Debug/MT/DLL,
   etc).

If all this doesn't help then the last resort would be to re-create 
the VS 8.0 project from scratch instead of using the conversion tool.
