c++/cli - irritating compilation error

**jwa** · 01-02-2008, 07:05 AM

After compilation this simple example code, I have irritating error... I don't know what's going on, can anybody help me to solve that?

File Form1.h

Code:

#ifndef __FORM1_H__
#define __FORM1_H__

#include "TClass.h"

namespace testmycpp
{
	public ref class Form1
	{
		public:
			Form1(void);
		private:
			TClass ^m_tc;         //this declaracion cause error
	};
}

#endif

File Form1.cpp

Code:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "Form1.h"

using namespace testmycpp;

Form1::Form1()
{
}

File TClass.h

Code:

#ifndef __TCLASS_H__
#define __TCLASS_H__

namespace testmycpp
{
	public ref class TClass
	{
		public:
			TClass(void);
	};
}

#endif

File TClass.cpp

Code:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "TClass.h"

using namespace testmycpp;

TClass::TClass()
{
}

File stdafx.h

Code:

#pragma once

I think you are calling that tclass wrong. It should be:

Code:

testmycpp::TClass ^m_tc;         //Try this

That is a strange error. I found this on MSDN: Compiler Error C2143

Whenever you declare a variable of a type that is specified in a namespace such as System or std, you need to put that namespace in front of it like so:

namespace_name::variable_type
