    Failed to return new code element

    Hi, I have a VS2005 VC++ application which no longer allows me to add a
    Variable or Function to a class in the project. I attempt to add a new
    (public) Variable called Temp123, and get this error...

    Failed to return new Code Element. Possibley syntax error. New Element
    Name. Temp123

    I recently changed the name of the cpp file (using Solution Explorer) of
    this class. Since that change, the error always occurs. I attempted to
    change the cpp name back to its original name, but still get the error.

    Can anyone help me out.

      Does this problem still exist if you add a new cpp file with the name you
      want and copy the whole contents of the old file to the new one and remove
      the old one from the solution?

              Next attempt: Close the poject, delete the .ncb file and reopen the project.

                  Tried that, and it did not work.

                      In this case, it seems to be somehow realted to your file itself. To find
                      the source, I would comment out the whole body of the class and see if it is
                      possilbe to add a new function to the empty class. If yes, uncomment more
                      and more parts until the problem reappears.
                      If you have found the reason, please share it here.

                      I don't see anything better to do here, sorry

                      Marcus

                          Here is what I did to get it to work.

                          I created a new class. I cut & pasted the code from the original classes .h
                          & .cpp files into the respective .h & .cpp files of the new class. In the
                          new class files, I then replace the old class name with the new, then I
                          deleted the original class files.

                          It was a round about way, but it worked.
