C2264 Error in C++, totally lost

[SConrad]

I cut out the code that doesn't interact with this stuff.
I'm really lost, I don't know what's going on with this stuff.

I've re-read the class chapter of my book about 5 times now, and I can't figure out where I'm going wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, since I've been stuck at this point for far longer than I should have been.

I saw a

BookData isbn;
 

somewhere, and there is a private member isbn in ur BookData class as well. U better check it.

[Ganon11]

In your main() function, you read an ISBN number (as a string) into the variable ISBN, but you also have a BookData object named isbn, which is likely causing you some confusion. When you call SetISBN, you are passing it isbn, which is the BookData object, rather than the string ISBN. You should probably pick better names for your variables.

[Coldfire]

string ISBN;
BookData isbn;

note that variables are not case-sensitive. You better change the vairable names
like
string sISBN;
BookData objISBN;
