unresolved external: D3DXSaveSurfaceToFile

Question

I am compiling a simple code to capture screenshot using GetBackBufer() method and here is my complete code for reference:

I am getting this error for the D3DXSaveSurfaceToFile function:

1>Source.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _D3DXSaveSurfaceToFileA@20 referenced in function _WinMain@16

1>c:\users\vrushali\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\DirectXBackBufferTryTWO\Debug\DirectXBackBufferTryTWO.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

I refered to a lot of SO threads regarding resolving this error and followed almost all the the procedures suggested here,MSDN documentation: Linker Tools Error LNK2019, here by changing the function to SaveSurfacetoFileW and using L"E:\\filename.bmp". I also added the path to all library files and also copy pasted those library files in the project directory.

However after reading through a lot of threads I am not able to resolve this error. What am I doing wrong here? What else should I do in order to get rid of the unresolved external error?
