• Visual Studio Express Editions Error C2248

  I searched for other cases of this error, and could not find anything similar to this. The online help hinted at the cause but the solution did not work. I was unable to paste into this form (Win 2000, IE 6 SP1), so I have pasted some code samples at http://spaces.msn.com/members/robertjohnson/ If anyone can be bothered to read through this turgid example I'd like an opinion on how to get it to compile. It worked on VC 7 compiler, and it's probably me not understanding the error message. Thanks in advance. Well I'm glad the team fixed the bug in 7.1. So when's 8.1 coming out   I'll give it another go! ...Show All
