Code will compile in Borland but not Visual C++ 6.0

[barbes]

Hi,
Got a program that will compile in the Borland command line compiler, however when I try to compile the same code in Visual, it comes up with errors. I know it has something to do with the header files used, but I don't know which ones to include when using Visual.

When using Borland works fine...

#include <STRING>    
#include <DEQUE>
#include <VECTOR>
#include <algorithm>

class worker {
protected:
	string name;  
// Error message here: 'string' :missing storage-class or type specifiers
	
                ozDate startDate;

public:
	worker (string, ozDate*);
	string getName() const;
	ozDate getStartDate() const;
	void showName(int) const;
	void showStartDate() const;
	virtual double showTotalPay(ozDate& inToday) const;
	virtual void changeName(string inNewName);
	virtual void displayType() const;
	virtual void showExpiryDate() const;
	virtual ozDate getExpiryDate() const;
};

Then use the same code in Visual and get errors, does anyone know what include file I should be using??

I assume that this is in a header file, so :

std::string name;

In CPP files, you can :

using namspace std;

although some programmers prefer not to do
that even in cpp files.
