Error: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header directive? I'm getting this when I'm trying to compile my program.

Thanks,
Ryan

I've gotten that a few times myself...I'm not sure if I remember correctly how I fixed it, but sometimes if you don't have a closing '}' or you are missing a ';' somewhere, this can come up. Check at the end of some of your functions for this and be sure you have all the corresponding '{' and '}' in your program.

Hope this helps

ryank,

I believe it means you are missing #include "stdafx.h" as the 'first' include directive.

Yeah, I've had that hundreds of times. It was a while before I figgured it out. If you deleted that file, I think the only solution is to restart the project.

Sans,

First, where is your source control? File should always be retrievable.

Second, many stdafx.h files are identical. You can usually get one to work from another project without having to restart your project.

Good luck

Forgive me, I'm a newbe. I just started programming in Visual C++ a week ago. You see, I figgured that all of these files were customized for your project name. But when I said delete the file, I ment off your hard disk.

Whoops! I thought the handle was a subject line! That's how it is in the other forums… Ignorance is the night of the mind

Sure, but if you are using source code control you can still retrieve the file from there.
