I'm getting a compile error on vs2005 that I dont understand. The
help
explains that this is a breaking change for VC++.NET 2005 compiler,
made in
order to conform to the ISO C++ standard, and I've tried it using evc+
+ 4.0 sp4 and
it compiles ok.

Code is as follows.............

//paramstring.h

template <class T> class ParameterStringAW
{
public:
    typedef T* PT;
    typedef const T* PCT;

    class CKeyValuePair
    {

    protected:
        TString m_strKey;
        TString m_strValue;
        BOOL m_bIgnoreCase;

    public:
        CKeyValuePair(PCT szKey, PCT szValue, BOOL bIgnoreCase) :
m_strKey(szKey), m_strValue(szValue),m_bIgnoreCase(bIgnoreCase)
        {
        }
        ~CKeyValuePair()
        {
        }
        PCT GetValue() const
        {
            return m_strValue.c_str();
        }
        void SetValue( PCT szValue )
        {
            m_strValue = szValue;
        }
        PCT GetKey() const
        {
            return m_strKey.c_str();
        }
        BOOL Is( PCT szKeyToCompare) const
        {
            if (NULL == szKeyToCompare)
                return FALSE;

            if (m_bIgnoreCase)
                return (0 == CompareNoCase(m_strKey, TString(szKeyToCompare)));
            else
                return ( m_strKey == szKeyToCompare );
        }
    };

    typedef CKeyValuePair* PKeyValuePair;
    typedef std::vector< PKeyValuePair > KeyValueList;

};

***********************************************************************************************************/
paramstring.cpp

template <class T>
ParameterStringAW<T>::PKeyValuePair ParameterStringAW<T>::Exists( PCT
szKey ) const // this is the line where i get errors...
{

}

warning C4346: 'ParameterStringAW<T>::PKeyValuePair' : dependent name
is not a type
        prefix with 'typename' to indicate a type

error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before
'ParameterStringAW<T>::Exists'

error C1903: unable to recover from previous error(s); stopping
compilation NMUTF8.cpp

Any insight would be appreciated.
