No -- that error has nothing at all to do with the operating system. Without seeing your code I guess that you left out a semicolon somewhere.

without attempting to compile the code you posted there is probably at least one semicolon missing at the last brace in the header file.

Ok I loaded your code in a new project with VC++ 2005 Express and found that your Form1.h is missing some braces somewhere. You need to start at the top of the file and count the number of open/close brace pairs and insert the missing one(s). Put your cursor on the closing brace at the bottom of the file then press Ctrl + [ keys and the cursor will jump to the matching open brace.

After adding two closing braces at the bottom of the file (probably in the wrong place I might add) the compiler now spits out a lot of other errors in Form1.h. My suggestion is to begain all over again, create a new CLR Windows project and gradually add the code you posted here a little bit at a time, compile to get clean compile, then add some more.

An approach to writing code
Writing 5(*) lines at a time, then pressing "compile" to see how you're doing is a sustainable development strategy.
Dumping 100's of lines on a message board for someone else to fix is not.

The same goes for testing, when you've finished a function, then try running the code to make sure it's doing what you want.

Never code beyond your ability to deal with the consequence of the compiler spitting it straight back at you.

(*) or however many you feel confident about writing without errors.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
Do not PM me for help; You'll be ignored, or told to learn to read.
Do not ask me if I'm muslim - I'm not. Nor do I care about yours or anyone else's mysticism. Religion is a matrix, take the RED PILL.
