I think OP did use CException as shown by the error. I think the problem is
There was no reason to start new threads for these problem, as we were
still answering your questions in your old one.
First thing first what is in your stdafx.h file? Next go to your project
settings/General and make sure Use of MFC has the correct setting in it
(to use MFC).
Then try fixing the spelling of CEXception to CException and if that
doesn't work try right clicking on CException and select go to
decelration. If that takes you afx.h then it is being included. If it
doesn't inlcude <afx.h> in your source file, and see if that will fix it.
I thought you said that this worked in a new application.

Hello!
I have a cpp file and a header file which is shown below.
If I compile this cpp file I get the following errors
C:\project\IDTH\DTHToolObjects\MyTest.cpp(11) : error C2061: syntax error
: identifier 'CException'
C:\project\IDTH\DTHToolObjects\MyTest.cpp(11) : error C2310: catch
handlers must specify one type
C:\project\IDTH\DTHToolObjects\MyTest.cpp(14) : error C2317: 'try' block
starting on line '8' has no catch handlers
I assume that there must be some strange settings in the project settings
that is causing this.
I must say that this is the project with the problematic dll that I have
been talking about in several mail.
So it's not a project that I have been created by using the wizard.
Here is the cpp file
**************
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "myTest.h"
MyTest::MyTest()
{
try
{
m_test = TRUE;
}
catch(CEXception* ex)
{
}
}
and here is the header file
********************
class MyTest
{
public:
MyTest();
BOOL m_test;
};
