  Hi there

  I am just getting started with Visual C++ and am having a problem trying to 'use' a namespace in my code which I hope someone can help me with. The namespace in question is included in a dll (I do not have access to the code used to create the dll). The steps I have taken so far within my C++ project are :

  1.  Added the dll to the project using Add->Existing Item and then navigating to the dll location.

  2. Opened the Object Browser and found the assembly for the new dll (which has the namespace I need listed below it) and clicked the 'Add to References in Selected Project...' button.

  3. In Solution Explorer right click on my project and select References.. and I see the new assembly listed there.

  4. Edited my .cpp file and added  a 'using namespace' command for the namespace (SBS)  in the dll/assembly as below:

  #include

  "stdafx.h"

  #include <iostream>

  #include

  <string>

  using

  namespace std;

  using

  namespace SBS;

  When I try to build the project I get the error :

  error C2871: 'SBS' : a namespace with this name does not exist

  Is there something else I need to do to get my project to recognise the 'SBS namespace ?

  Thanks in advance

  Rob

  Hi Rob

  Use #include <cstring> instead of <string>
