Error C2065: Cstring undeclared identifier

[Layla Nahar]

Hi,

I'm using Visual Studio 6, SP4.

with the follwing code:

#include <afxwin.h>
#include <iostream.h>
int main ()
{
Cstring s;

...

I get compiler "Error C2065: Cstring undeclared identifier" and for the life of me I can't make it go away. (I'm doing code from Richard Jones "Introduction to MFC programming")

I've tried #including afx.h, string.h and a number of other things.

1) anybody know how to get my compiler to recognize the Cstring type?

2) If not, what workarounds to I have? (CRect and CPoint declarations compile just fine) Can I get all the same member functions and formatting for strings another way?

thanks
Layla

The problem was that I typed "Cstring" with a small s. I should have typed CString!!
