Buggy Class or is VC++ a little lost?

Hello everyone, I''m having a bit of trouble with the log file class that I am attempting to make. I''ve gone over it a few times now and it seems to be just fine, but VC++ insists on telling my that it is messed up. Mind taking a look and teling me what''s up? The error that I am receiving is: "log.h(28) : error C2011: ''CLog'' : ''class'' type redefinition" Here is my log class: // Log.h ------------------------------------------------------- #ifndef _LOG_H_ #define _LOH_H_ //-------------------------------------------------------------- // INCLUDES //-------------------------------------------------------------- #include <windows.h> #include <iostream.h> #include <fstream.h> //-------------------------------------------------------------- // CLASS - CLOG //-------------------------------------------------------------- class CLog { // Error seems to occur on this line public: Create(char *Filename); Log(char *Message); Destroy(); private: ofstream LogFile; }; #endif // Log.cpp ----------------------------------------------------- //-------------------------------------------------------------- // INCLUDES //-------------------------------------------------------------- #include <windows.h> #include <iostream.h> #include <fstream.h> #include "Log.h" //-------------------------------------------------------------- // Method: Create() // Desc: Creates the Log File and Opens it for Writing. //-------------------------------------------------------------- CLog::Create(char *Filename) { // Open the Log File LogFile.open(Filename, ios::out); } //-------------------------------------------------------------- // Method: Log() // Desc: Outputs the Message to the Log File. //-------------------------------------------------------------- CLog::Log(char *Message) { LogFile.write(Message, strlen(Message)); } //-------------------------------------------------------------- // Method: Destroy() // Desc: Closes the Log File. //-------------------------------------------------------------- CLog::Destroy() { LogFile.close(); } The class is so simple that it should work rather well. Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

use #pragma once
instead of the #ifndef trick, and you can avoid that problem in the future

I believe the #pragma trick is a VC++ specific thing and non-standard. (But I could be wrong since I'm not going to through the trouble of looking up the standard to be sure.

) Of course, this doesn't matter too much if you never plan on porting your code to another platform. It is generally bad to teach yourself non-standard ways of doing things, however.
