When i compile use the vs2008 , it gives me the following errror

it seems it can not use the class Simlation, but i have include the header file"Simulation.h".
Could you please tell me how to resolve this problem.

Can you post "Simulation.h" ? Make sure you spelled if correctly

thank you very much. I have checked the spell many times. it is right.

Post it. Also make sure you add a ';' after the end of class declaration as in,

class Simulation{
 //...
};
