Error with function call.

[Jojestic]

I'm writing a program for my CS class in which names are to be taken from a text file, put into Lastname, Firstname format, inserted into a list, and sorted. CStrings are to be used.

The problem I've run into is when trying to call the function GetList on line 41. The compiler (Bloodshed Dev-C++, if this is relevant) generates a lengthy error related to ios_base.h

I'm attatching the implementation file, header, and main program.

I'm confused as to why this is happening, but I can't figure it out. If someone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it.


Here is a copy/paste of the error.
