Having trouble with getting this to compile.

[Ken Varn]

The following code snippet will not compile. I get an error C2337 saying
that the flags attribute is not found, however, if I remove the last
namespace System from the namespace tree, then it compiles fine. What
gives?

#pragma once

using namespace System;

namespace TestA
{
namespace TestB
{
namespace System
{
[Flags]
public __value enum SchedDayType
{
SPECIAL=0,
MON=1,
TUE=2,
WED=4,
THU=8,
FRI=16,
SAT=32,
SUN=64,
WEEKDAY=MON|TUE|WED|THU|FRI,
WEEKEND=SAT|SUN,
EVERYDAY=WEEKDAY|WEEKEND
};
}
}
}

I believe this is due to compiler's namespaces collision.
Try to write [FlagsAttribute], [System::FlagsAttribute], or even
[::System::FlagsAttribute].

Tried all three. None of them seem to work. Technically, the enum should
belong to namespace TestA.TestB.System. Why would there be a collision with
the base CLR System namespace?

Any other suggestions?

Possibly the 'using namespace System' is causing the confusion - [Flags]
could reasonably be interpreted as System.Flags.

That's my guess as well, is there anyway around this or am I forced to
change the namespace naming scheme?

Hi Ken,

That's my guess as well, is there anyway around this or am I forced to
change the namespace naming scheme?

To tell you the truth, I wasn't able to get it to work even using namespace
aliases, which is bad (seems like the compiler treats it in a fairly special
way).

But even if you could get it to compile, the naming scheme would just cause
too much trouble later on (way too much stuff that could clash).... you'd be
better off just changing it and avoiding a namespace called System.
