Re: errors after upgrading to VS2008

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hello Paul,

Did you by any chance find solution to this problem? Because, after I
upgraded Visual Studio from 2005 to 2008, I am getting same errors when I
compile my project.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Muthiah.

After upgrading to VS2008, I started getting errors for lstrlenA,
size_t, and lstrcpynA.
My "include directories" settings are exactly the same as VS2005, and
if I open the project in VS2005, everything compiles just fine.
I assume the problem is because the headers in "$(VCInstallDir)ce
\atlmfc\include" have changed for VS2008 and are now incompatible with
WTL.

Has anybody found a fix or workaround for this?

Where is the "using namespace ATL;" coming from? Your code or one of the
headers?



Thanks,
PaulH

I believe it's coming in from atlbase.h which is included in my
stdafx.h.
