Two very qualified people have already given you good advice. Are you ignoring their suggestions and hoping that someone does all of the work for you? If not, explain what you've done to troubleshoot and how it didn't work.
I'm here to prove you wrong.

it says:

1>c:\users\john\documents\visual studio 2005\projects\speedgame\speedgame\Form1.h(23) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ',' before '}'

so i think it's line 23 where it goes }{

forget about the semicolon for now, just concentrate on finding the mismatches braces. Books sometimes contain errors due to poor or inadequate proofreading -- or more likely you copied it wrong.

Like I said, the problem was how you approached the problem from the beginning.

This is your post.
"It's the 4th down and 50 yards to go, with 20 seconds remaining on the clock, and you need 7 points for the win".
In essence, a "hail mary" pass into the end zone in the hopes that you'll strike lucky.

IMO, you need to create a new project and build up slowly this time, copy/pasting small sections of this project to it, along with lots of compile and test as you go.

Yup, I suggested that too, but I suppose some people don't take suggestions like that.

You had quite a few transcription errors. In other words, unless the book is absolutely horrid, you introduced syntax errors on your own when typing the code in. I've cleaned it up for you and fixed the syntax errors. Don't expect me to do it again:

            "Please try again!" );
        }
      }
    }
  };
}
Here are a few C++ tips:

1) Classes always end with a semicolon.
2) public, private, and protected are groupings. You don't have to specify an access modifier for every single member.
3) C++ is case sensitive. int16 is quite different from Int16.
4) Every opening { has to have a corresponding closing }.
I'm here to prove you wrong.
