After finished reading some C++ book I started to test how it work on VC++ 6.0 and in the book it seperate header into 2 parts 1. XXX.h and 2. XXX.cpp and use it on uXXX.cpp, but I don't know how to build it in VC++. First I create project of win32 console app,then I created c++ header file forstring.h and created c++source file for string.cpp and ustring.cpp,but it did't work and show an error, so I want to know if I do something wrong and how to fix it. Thank and sorry for my bad grammar - -a //string.h #ifndef STRING_H #define STRING_H class String{ private: char* pstr; int size; public: String(const char* str=" "); ~String(){ delete [] pstr}; }; #endif //string.cpp #include <iostream> using namespace std; #include <cstring> #include <cassert> #include "string.h" String::String(const char* str){ size=static_cast<int>(strlen(str)); pstr = new char[size+1]; strcpy(pstr,str); } //uString.cpp #include <iostream> using namespace std #include "string.h" void main(){ String str1("welcome"); } [Edited by - ZodiaXlll on April 16, 2006 9:40:15 AM]

Well there should be an '#endif' at the end of the header file. I think that's the only problem I can see right now.

It still show an error even #endif is added.
This is error messages.
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\board\stu.h(3) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '<class-head>'
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\board\stu.h(3) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found

This is another one error from another work
