After upgrading to VS2008, I started getting errors for lstrlenA,
size_t, and lstrcpynA.
My "include directories" settings are exactly the same as VS2005, and
if I open the project in VS2005, everything compiles just fine.
I assume the problem is because the headers in "$(VCInstallDir)ce
\atlmfc\include" have changed for VS2008 and are now incompatible with
WTL.

Has anybody found a fix or workaround for this?

Where is the "using namespace ATL;" coming from? Your code or one of the
headers?

Thanks,
PaulH
