How to fix the given compilation issue with VS2010?

[Mark Bones]

I am facing issues with a project called ServiceConfigurationManager in Visual Studio 2010. The project compiles without a hitch in Visual Studio 2005, it also compiles perfectly if I change the Platform Toolset to v90 in the Property Pages. The project is an EXE which uses both ATL and MFC.

When I try to execute the following line of code in a file called ServiceConfugrationManagerModule.h:

class CServiceConfigurationManagerModule
: public CAtlServiceModuleT <CServiceConfigurationManagerModule, IDS_SERVICENAME>, public CWindowImpl<CServiceConfigurationManagerModule>
{

I'm met with a barrage of errors, the most important of which is:

c:\work\main\actra5.x\projects\serviceconfiguratio nmanager\serviceconfigurationmanagermodule.h(32): error C2504: 'CAtlServiceModuleT' : base class undefined

c:\work\main\actra5.x\projects\serviceconfiguratio nmanager\serviceconfigurationmanagermodule.h(32): error C2143: syntax error : missing ',' before '<'


Note that CAtlServiceModuleT is defined in atlbase.h. I am not entirely sure of the problem, but I suspect that somehow a macro called _ATL_NO_SERVICE is incorrectly defined due to some setting. In atlbase.h, CAtlServiceModuleT is defined following the statement '#ifndef _ATL_NO_SERVICE'. (Note that atlbase.h is included in my stdafx.h, which in turn is included in ServiceConfigurationModule.h)


Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem? Unfortunately, I cannot provide the project since it was written internally by my company.

I'm no expert but my guess would be that the ATL templates used by VS2010 ain't the templates used by VS2005.

You might try using the 2005 templates with the 2010 compiler.

At the very least I would examine the two template sets in the area where you have your problem and see what gives.

Also be sure to check the preprocess settings in the 2005 project vis-a-vis the 2010 project.

Let me know what yur find.
