string.h included, string still undefined

[platatomi]

Working on a project for school, need to use a couple string variables in the project but cannot get them recognized. I have #include <string.h> and also tried #include <string>, both valid header files(files exist and load) but string type remains undefined.

I am using Visual C++ 2010 Express.


Thanks for any hints.

It's #include <string>. C++ style headers don't have extensions, and C-converted headers are prefixed with C, such as #include <cmath>.

#include <string> doesn't work either.

Here is a test program with string not working:





// string test.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <string>


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
string teststr;
return 0;

}

Qualify string with std::. For example: std::string. Optionally, after the preporcessor directives, and before main( ), write using namespace std;.

That did the trick, thank you.
