'IDataObject' : ambiguous symbol

Hi there

I am facing a problem. When I include my unmanaged header file in my form1.h file, I am facing the compile error with the following messag

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\Platfo rmSDK\Include\O bjIdl.h(7408) : error C2872: 'IDataObject' : ambiguous symbo
could be 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\Platfo rmSDK\Include\O bjIdl.h(246) : System::Windows ::Forms::IDataO bject IDataObject
or 'Form1.cpp(0) : System::Windows ::Forms::IDataO bject

I tried to solve this problem last 3 hours but failed
I need the solusion as soon as possible. Anybody can help me?

Regards
EHu

Both the .NET Windows Forms and COM define an IDataObject interface that are
distinct. You should fully qualify this interface. If you mean to use the
..NET "version" of the IDataObject interface, use
System::Windows ::Forms::IDataO bject.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
