I'm writing a program that includes a secondary form using C++/CLI in Visual Studio 2005. So far, I haven't progressed much due to a pair of redefinition errors that don't make much sense.
Mode.h(12) : error C2374: 'NameManipulator::check' : redefinition; multiple initialization
Mode.h(12) : see declaration of 'NameManipulator::check'
Mode.h(22) : error C2011: 'NameManipulator::Mode' : 'class' type redefinition
Mode.h(22) : see declaration of 'NameManipulator::Mode'
I've only declared each of these once, in just one namespace. One was even pre-generated by the compiler. Is there anything I can do to fix this besides starting from scratch? Any help would be much appreciated. (Code below)
using namespace System;
using namespace System::ComponentModel;
using namespace System::Collections;
using namespace System::Windows::Forms;
using namespace System::Data;
using namespace System::Drawing;
namespace NameManipulator {
int check = 4;

Your error is that you define the check
variable in the header file:
namespace NameManipulator {
int check = 4;
// Error in the line above
Change it to a declaration, as this:
namespace NameManipulator {
extern int check;
and add the definition in a source file:
int NameManipulator::check = 4;
