Simple problem... for you

As mentioned, you need to map the namespace 'std' to your application.

The following shows you the four different methods to map a namespace...

// Using the full member name, including the namespace it belongs to:
std::cout << "Hello World";

// By taking advantage of Using-Declarations:
using std::cout; // This declares cout in the current
// scope as synonym for std::cout
cout << "Hello World";

// By taking advantage of Using-Directives:
using namespace std; // Which specifies that the current
// scope can refer to names in the
// 'std' namespace without using
// full qualifiers. This is mostly
// used when porting legacy code.
cout << "Hello World";

// Using aliases:
namespace X
{
namespace Y
{
class Z { ... };
}
}

X::Y::Z // The full qualifier for 'Z' is
// 'X::Y::Z'

namespace w = X::Y; // This declares 'w' as an alias for
// namespace 'X::Y'

w::Z // Access 'Z' using 'w::Z'

Hi,

cout is incuded in std namespace in c++.nte so if you inlude :

using namspace std;

just after "#include" will sort out your cout error

you do not need to do anything else;

this should sort out many of your problems with future applications

Malg

#include atlstr.h> // there should be a "<" before atlstr but if I post it the line doesn't show up

...

CString mystring; // and now a little bit of dev-archive, google ... search ...

Hope it helps
