Buffer as a parameter

[limpit]

Hi, i am trying to use a buffer before sending it to a canvas, and I am having problems finding out how to set the buffer as a parameter in one of my classes. Im doing this:

void Muestrate(BufferedGraphics ^buffer);

This is the same way i used to set a canvas a parameter, although it wont work with the buffer. I keep getting a syntax error. Any help please? Thanks in advance.

I keep getting a syntax error

It never occurred to you to post that error ?

Also, you are using C#, so you are in the wrong section. This is for C++.

No, I am using Visual C++ Express Edition 2008. And the error is:

error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'BufferedGraphics'

No, I am using Visual C++ Express Edition 2008

... but you are writing your code not in C++.

void Muestrate(BufferedGraphics ^buffer);

the ^ is not C++.

It's MSC++/CLI so this thread should be in the managed C++ forum.

No, I am using Visual C++ Express Edition 2008.

Please know the tools that you're using.

You are using something called "Managed C++". Managed C++ is a superset of C++, using inventions that are not "true" C++. That "^" character is nonsensical to the "true" C++ language in the context that you're using it.

In true C++, the "^" character is an exclusive-or. So to this forum, you are passing a paramter that is an exclusive-or, so this makes it non-sensical to this group.

For Managed C++, that symbol does make sense, but this is not the Managed C++ forum.
