All,

I've installed the VS 2005 Beta 1 and was trying to build our current
product. I get a compile error when enum value is specified with
classname::enumname::enumvalue. Seems the compiler does not want the
enumname there anymore. This was not a problem with any previous versions of
VS. I could not find any help in any of my programming books or in MSDN. Can
anyone explain the reasons to me? Is this behavior to stay?

class CMyEnumClass

{

public:

enum MyMode

{

MM_Mode1,

MM_Mode2,

MM_Mode3,

MM_Mode4

};

};

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])

{

// CMyEnumClass::MyMode m = CMyEnumClass::MyMode::MM_Mode3;// in VS 2005 -
error C2825: 'CMyEnumClass::MyMode': must be a class or namespace when
followed by '::'

CMyEnumClass::MyMode m2 = CMyEnumClass::MM_Mode3;//ok in ALL

return 0;

}

Thanks!
