#include<string> not working in a win32 app

[thenath24]

Hello all,

I am writing a backup tool in c++ and created a project using the win32 app option.

For some reason it will not allow me to use strings even though I have included the string class, it reports the following error;

error C2065: 'string' : undeclared identifier

does anyone know why this is?, and can it be fixed and if so how?

Thanks

Have you used the std:: qualifier when referring to string. Remember that C++ standard library whatever is in the std namespace. string would be one of them.

Have you included std::string as follows:

[CODE=cpp]using std::string;
// OR
using namespace std;[/CODE]
