error 'Create': identifier not found

Question

Hi guys,

I need your help as I have a problem when I tried to debugging of the application.

Here it's the code:

[CODE]
// Form1.cpp

using namespace System::Data;
using namespace System::Drawing;
using namespace System::Net;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Text;
using namespace System::Web;
using namespace System::Runtime::InteropServices;
using namespace System::Text::RegularExpressions;
using namespace System::Configuration;
using namespace System::Collections::Generic;

#include "StdAfx.h"
#include "Form1.h"
#include "Form2.h"

using namespace MyApplication;  // Of course the namespace name would be Test in your project

System::Void Form1::ListView1_DoubleClick(System::Object^  sender, System::EventArgs^  e)
{            
    Form2 ^form2 = dynamic_cast<Form2 ^>(Owner);
    //Address of URL
    String ^URL = "http://www.mysite.com/myscript.php?user=" + form2->ComboBox1->Text + "&pass=" + form2->TextBox1->Text;
    HttpWebRequest ^request = safe_cast<HttpWebRequest^>(WebRequest::Create(URL));
    HttpWebResponse ^response = safe_cast<HttpWebResponse^>(request->GetResponse());
    StreamReader ^reader = gcnew StreamReader(response->GetResponseStream());
    String ^str = reader->ReadToEnd();


The error I have got ('Create': identifier not found) is a member of a property called webRequest. The error are jumping on this line:

HttpWebRequest ^request = safe_cast<HttpWebRequest^>(WebRequest::Create(URL));

I don't know what to do.

Any idea?

Answer 2

There are two errors as I have got, so here it is:

Error: error C2039: 'Create' : is not a member of 'System::Net::WebRequest'

Error: error C3861: 'Create': identifier not found

Answer 3

Might be a name-clash. Have you #include-d any native header files in this cpp? One of those may have a Create function.

I am not sure what do you mean by "have you #include-d any native header files in this cpp?

As far I have included the #include in the native header file in this cpp which you can see it right here:

 

// Form1.cpp

using namespace System::Data;
using namespace System::Drawing;
using namespace System::Net;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Text;
using namespace System::Web;
using namespace System::Runtime::InteropServices;
using namespace System::Text::RegularExpressions;
using namespace System::Configuration;
using namespace System::Collections::Generic;

#include "StdAfx.h"
#include "Form1.h"
#include "Form2.h"

 

If you don't meant that then i need you explains a little bit more clear please.

Thanks,
Mark

Can you paste the contents of stdafx.h (so I know what you are including there) ?
