string problem in C++

[kook04]

Why am I getting an 'string : undeclared identifier' compile error for this line...

string s("hello"

I am including <string.h> in my file.

Thanks....Kennedy ------

Have you tried declaring the string in one step and then setting the value on the next (maybe VC doesn't like that constructor)?

Alternatively you can use CString.
CString words;
words = &quot;Whatever you want&quot;;

Yes, I tried that to no avail. It gives me the same error for CString also.

1. For the first problem you have to add this after your includes:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

2. For the second one with CString.
you cannot use CString in a program that has no MFC support. Anyway if you want to use MFC do this:
- go in ProjectSettings->General and select &quot;Use MFC in a Shared DLL&quot;
- add #include <afx.h> at the begining of your file, after your includes.

Hope this helps, s-)

#include<string>
using namespace std;
string s=&quot;hello&quot;; John Fill

This is the one thing I didnt like. #include <string> and #include <string.h> are TWO different files. John is correct. #include <string> will give you the functionality you are missing.
