VC++ 2005 Express Edition Error: error C2605: 'Dispose' : this method is reserved w

[karthix]

Hi,

i'm trying to debug a VC++ program. I guss it was coded in VC++ 8.0 and i am using VC++ 2005 EE.

This is the code:

#pragma once

namespace Editor
{
	using namespace System;
	using namespace System::ComponentModel;
	using namespace System::Collections;
	using namespace System::Windows::Forms;
	using namespace System::Data;
	using namespace System::Drawing;

	/// <summary>
	/// Summary for Form1
	///
	/// WARNING: If you change the name of this class, you will need to change the
	///          'Resource File Name' property for the managed resource compiler tool
	///          associated with all .resx files this class depends on.  Otherwise,
	///          the designers will not be able to interact properly with localized
	///          resources associated with this form.
	/// </summary>
	public ref class Form1 : public System::Windows::Forms::Form
	{
	public:
		Form1(void)
		{
			InitializeComponent();
			//
			//TODO: Add the constructor code here
			//
		}

	protected:
		/// <summary>
		/// Clean up any resources being used.
		/// </summary>
		/// <param name="disposing">"description of the parameter"</param>
		 virtual void Dispose(Boolean disposing) override
		{
			if (disposing && components)
			{
				delete components;
				
			}
			__super::Dispose(disposing);
		}   
		
	
	private:
		
		/// <summary>
		/// Required designer variable.
		/// </summary>
		System::ComponentModel::Container ^components;

#pragma region Windows Form Designer generated code
		/// <summary>
		/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
		/// the contents of this method with the code editor.
		/// </summary>
		void InitializeComponent(void)
		{
			this->components = gcnew System::ComponentModel::Container();
			this->Size = System::Drawing::Size(300,300);
			this->Text = L"Form1";
			this->Padding = System::Windows::Forms::Padding(0);
			this->AutoScaleMode = System::Windows::Forms::AutoScaleMode::Font;
		}
		
#pragma endregion
		
	};
}

and the error message is :

------ Build started: Project: Editor, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

did you intend to define a destructor?

i've read a few articles and i've been advised that we need to use a distructor so i modified the code a bit ( I dont know if it is Right or Wrong :( )

	#pragma once


	namespace Editor
	{
		using namespace System;
		using namespace System::ComponentModel;
		using namespace System::Collections;
		using namespace System::Windows::Forms;
		using namespace System::Data;
		using namespace System::Drawing;

		/// <summary>

		/// </summary>
		public ref class Form1 : public System::Windows::Forms::Form
		{
		public:
			Form1(void)
			{
				InitializeComponent();
				//
				//TODO: Add the constructor code here
				//
			}

		protected:
			
			
				
			~Form1(){ 			
				if(components){
					delete components;
					this->!Form1(); 
				}
			}
			!Form1(); 


		private:
			
			/// <summary>
			/// Required designer variable.
			/// </summary>
			System::ComponentModel::Container ^components;

	#pragma region Windows Form Designer generated code
			/// <summary>
			/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
			/// the contents of this method with the code editor.
			/// </summary>
			void InitializeComponent(void)
			{
				this->components = gcnew System::ComponentModel::Container();
				this->Size = System::Drawing::Size(300,300);
				this->Text = L"Form1";
				this->Padding = System::Windows::Forms::Padding(0);
				this->AutoScaleMode = System::Windows::Forms::AutoScaleMode::Font;
			}
			
	#pragma endregion
			
		};
	}

But then i get the error :

Welcome to the forum, karthix.

Just for the record, please use code-tags when posting code.

Editor.obj : error LNK2020: unresolved token (06000003) Editor.Form1::!Form1

Well, in your code you've defined the !Form1 finalizer, but you didn't declare it (you left out the body part).

MSVCURTD.lib(mcrtexew.obj) : error LNK2028: unresolved token (0A00000A) "extern "C" int __clrcall WinMain(struct HINSTANCE__ *,struct HINSTANCE__ *,char *,int)" (?WinMain@@$$J0YMHPAUHINSTANCE__@@0PADH@Z) referenced in function "int __clrcall WinMainCRTStartup(void)" (?WinMainCRTStartup@@$$FYMHXZ)
MSVCURTD.lib(mcrtexew.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "extern "C" int __clrcall WinMain(struct HINSTANCE__ *,struct HINSTANCE__ *,char *,int)" (?WinMain@@$$J0YMHPAUHINSTANCE__@@0PADH@Z) referenced in function "int __clrcall WinMainCRTStartup(void)" (?WinMainCRTStartup@@$$FYMHXZ)

It seems that you forgot to create an entrypoint (WinMain).

Hi,

i'm trying to debug a VC++ program. I guss it was coded in VC++ 8.0 and i am using VC++ 2005 EE.

You posted in the wrong forum.

Your code is managed C++. Your post should go in the .NET forum, not the Visual C++ forum.

Thank you for the reply.... i will post it again.

[TheCPUWizard]

no, just ask a moderator to move it....

Hi WildFrog:

Thank you very very much for your reply:

I changed the code to :

~Form1(){
if(components){
delete components;
this->Form1::!Form1();
}
}
!Form1()
{

}

and in the Project settings under system i changed the subsystem from Windows to Console.

It is not giving me any more errors. But i was wondering if this was the right way to do it or not, and would it make a big difference if the subsystem is in Windows or Console.

Thanx :)
