hello, i have an old library i need to port to .net. the old library is written in visual c++ 6.0 and uses templated classes.
if i compile the library (after having gone through the conversion wizard), i get errors with the definitions of the templated classes. below are some examples.
template<class base, class client>
templated_class _name<base,clie nt>::pointer_to _templated_clas s_member* templated_class _name<base,clie nt><base,client >::templated_cl ass_member(argu ments) {
...
code here
... }
for this function i receive the error
error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '*'
i did some reading on the templated classes in managed c maybe the synatx changed, but i can't find the problem. maybe you have run into this problem also, and you could advise.
thanks,
Ana Farcas

for your information :
'templates' are called 'generics' and are available in .NET 2.0 (whidbey)
so, have a look at how to use 'generics'. maybe you'll find an answer there http://www.15seconds.com/issue/031024.htm

It's not clear from the code snippet what is causing this error. If you can
send me a preprocessed file, I can take a look. (Take online out of my email
address).

If you are referring to templates for ref classes and value classes, this is
not supported in the 7.0 and 7.1 versions of the compiler. We are
introducing that support in VC 2005 (currently in beta).
If you are not doing managed programming, which I suspect is the case, the
syntax for templates has changed only slightly. Newer versions of the
compiler support more template features like partial specialization, and are
more restrictive for ill-formed code.

Just to avoid confusion, both generics and templates are available in VC
2005. They are different things. More information on my blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/branbray/archi.../19/51023.aspx

That needs to be:
template<class base, class client>
typename
templated_class _name<base,clie nt>::pointer_to _templated_clas s_member*
templated_class _name<base,clie nt>::templated_ class_member(ar guments) {
(typename added). VC6 didn't require typename, VC7.1 does require it.

I don't think the syntax change has anything to do with managed C++,
but purely to do with the major increase in standard C++ conformance
between VC6 and VC7.1. If you don't know about "typename" as used
above, look it up in your favourite reference under "dependent names"
or similar.

I am creating a wrapper around an existing C++ library. A lot of classes and
methods are wrapped but there are still some little problems. One of the
problem is the use of templates in C++ which does not exists in managed
languages like C# (i am talking here about C# 1.1 version, not 2.0 which has
some generics options).
How can i get rid of classes that are defined or using templates stuctures
like Object<T>?
Thanx
