Problem with System::IO::Directory::CreateDirectory()

[Chad]

I am receiving the following two errors in the code below. Both are
on Line 56.

error C2039: 'CreateDirectoryA' : is not a member of
'System::IO::Directory'

error C2660: 'CreateDirectoryA' : function does not take 1 arguments

Could anyone please point me in thr right direction?

Thanks!

Sure. Since your problem here platform specific (standard C++ knows
nothing of directories, etc.) asking in a MicroSoft forum (or checking
MSDN) would be appropriate.
Thanks!
You're welcome.

#include <windows.h>
#using <mscorlib.dll>
using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;

I fixed the problem by adding #undef CreateDirectory immediately after
#include <windows.h>
