DLL Maker and VC++ 2010

Hi,
I've tried the DLL Maker project, and got it to work successfully in VC++ 2008. Now I've tried to upgrade to VC++ 2010, but when I compile in VC++ 2010 I get a load of C2872 errors, like "'rank': ambiguous symbol"; and "'get': ambiguous symbol".

Has anybody got DLL Maker working in VC++ 2010?

Hi,

I did some testing and I think I found a solution.
I have been able to compile the DLL Maker in Visual Studio C++ 2010 Express.

Try this.
In array.h and FlexsimDefs.h you should change the line

using namespace std; 
to 
using std::string;

Try know and compile again.

Let me know if you get it to work and I will post the changes to Google Code.

Hi,

The code in Google code is updated with this change.
Have tested also on VS C++ 2008 Std.

Is there anybody already working with 2010 express?
And what are your impressions so far? Is it worth changing from 2008 already?

Ok, I'm a bit at a dead end here. I'm using some iostream functions in my program and to use them according the latests standards I use:
#include <iostream>

But then I have to use:
using namespace std;

But that does conflict with some flexsim commands (set and rank where ambiguous).

The older way with iostream.h doesn't work (file can't be opened)

So should we create some Flexsim namespace or something?

Edit:
I found my solution, because the Flexsim commands are defined in global space you can put :: in front of the rank and set commands

surprising because that does not work for me with VS 2010 ultimate.
is it committed it to SVN?

I'm not sure what you mean with "that" but the :: have to be infront of every set or rank or those commands, that you use in your code. This is not something that is put in the Flexsim files.
