I'm new to C++ but trying to compile some code into a Dll but i get the

Error 2 fatal error C1903: unable to recover from previous error(s);

here is a part of the code where the error appears

[...snipped irrelevant code, please do that yourself next time...]

CQueAlert(int AlertID, int LockID, CString AlertDesc = "");
here it points to

Two things:
1. CString is TCHAR-based, hence the suggestion from Mark to use a TCHAR
string literal _T("").
2. You can use an empty CString object:
  function( ..., CString desc = CString());
or alternatively use two overloaded functions:
  function( ...);
  function( ..., CString desc);

virtual ~CQueAlert() {};

^ no.

This is not syntactically wrong because it is inside a class definition, but
it is logically wrong. Further, you don't need to provide a destructor if
the compiler-provided one works for you.
