'IDataObject' : ambiguous symbol error

Expand Post »
When I mix managed with unmanaged code I get the compiler error: "'IDataObject' : ambiguous symbol". How do I resolve this? Thanks.

Re: 'IDataObject' : ambiguous symbol error

The error has been resolved.

Move all 'using namespace XXXX' from .h to .cpp
