My vc++ is insane, please help me.....

VC++ refuses to recognize stream classes (such as ofstream and ifstream) when I compile. I wrote the simplest program possible to diagnose the problem and I still have no idea what is going on. I include <iostream> and <fstream> and still get unrecognized identifiers in response to ofstream declarations.

The curious thing is, intellisense recognizes everything properly. What is wrong here??? All properties options are normal and the default include path is set properly (I get no include errors).
Here is the simple program I wrote in which vc++ refuses to compile. Like I said, intellisense gives me all the proper data but seems to forget everything at compile time:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

int main()
{
ofstream file("blah", ios::binary);
file.close();
return 0;
}

errors are "unrecognized identifier ofstream", and everything that stems from that.

Try:

using namespace std;

or prefix the uses with std::

Intellisense is! :(
