Since you haven't given any context, it's impossible to guess what the
real problem is.
I don't know what context you're looking for, exactly... I just tried to
compile the code that you gave as an example, and the error above is the
result. Here is the entire thing, which is just your code plus two curly
braces.
template<class element_type>
void ToString<std::vector<element_type>>(std::string &s,
std::vector<element_type> &value)
{
}
That code snippet can't possibly compile as is. It uses a namespace
that hasn't been defined, a template that hasn't been defined, and a
class that hasn't been defined. All those were missing in your original
code, as well.
