AnsiString header 文件

Question

I am migrating from an old version of Borland C++ to the newest. In my code I had used String (AnsiString). In the new compiler it does not recognize String or AnsiString as a valid type, so I put in vcl.h in the file where I use String. Now I get 103 errors, all saying "reference to byte is ambiguous" (various system.h files). Is vcl.h not the header for AnsiString?

thanks

The actual header file that defines AnsiString is dstring.h , and always has been (the header file that defines UnicodeString is ustring.h ). The System::String alias is defined in sysmac.h .

vcl.h includes these headers for you. If you are getting errors, either you did not create a VCL project properly to begin with, or your project is misconfigured.
