Getting compilation error

[rajkumaragrawal]

Hi All,

I am creating a metro application on windows8.I am using vc++ programming language. I am using mssoap toolkit to communication with the webservice( wsdl ).
I am using following code:

#import "C:\Program Files\Common Files\MSSoap\Binaries\mssoap30.dll" exclude("IStream", "ISequentialStream", "_LARGE_INTEGER", "_ULARGE_INTEGER", "tagSTATSTG", "_FILETIME")
 
using namespace MSSOAPLib30; 
 
#import "C:\Windows\system32\msxml4.dll"
using namespace MSXML2;
 

After adding above code I am getting following error message:

c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 11.0\vc\include\comdef.h(64): fatal error C1075: end of file found before the left brace '{' at 'c:\sample\app7\app7\debug\mssoap30.tlh(19)' was matched

Please Assist me solve above error message.
Note: if I create non metro application then above code work fine without a issue.

Remember, a \ is an escape sequence in C/C++. I expec this path:

#import "C:\Windows\system32\msxml4.dll"

needs to be:
#import "C:\\Windows\\system32\\msxml4.dll"

I'm kinda guessing here since # is a preprocessor line and not a C/C++ line. However, the #import is a Microsoft thing and they might have required a \\ to get a \ .

Thanks for reply.I have tried with '\\' but still facing same issue.

This may be a macro expansion problem where, perhaps a #define or #pragma has been omitted. All I know for certain is that the compiler ran out of code before matching a brace on line 19 of comdef.h.

Check all of the code preceding comdef.h and verify you haven't got unmatched braces.

You may need to build with the /Ep switch on to capture the translation unit that was sent to the compiler. Then you should be able delete known pairs of matched braces. Eventully, you will find your culprit.

Before that, though be sure the code preceding comdef.h has no unmatched braces.

My money is still on a bad macro expansion. Especailly since a non-metro compile does not present the problem.

Let me know what happens.
