Is the C++ string class () supported in CE 5.0? If so, are there any limitations? If not, what can be used in its place? Thanks in advance!

To be clear I'm referring to the basic_string Class that is defined here:

Thank you for your question.

Unfortunately, the C++ String Class is not supported in CE 5.0

An alternative could be to consider using the MFC String Class.

A far lighter-weight and much less buggy solution would be to use an implementation of STL like STLPort or the port from SyncData.

Does anyone know why the code below compiles but doesn't link (ignore quotes around include)?

#include '<'string'>'
using std::string;

string x;

I get the following linker error:

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: __cdecl std::basic_string,class std::allocator >::basic_string,class std::allocator >(class std::allocator const &)" (__imp_??0?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@QAA@ABV?$allocator@D@1@@Z) referenced in function "void __cdecl `dynamic initializer for 'x''(void)" (??__Ex@@YAXXZ)

Which of the STL implementations that ctacke recommended did you decide to use?

Did you add its library to your linker settings?

I am not using either of the recommended STL implementations - is that my problem? I thought that since I was able to compile my code that std::string was built-in but that I was doing something wrong (like not including some windows library).

I think I found the problem - I had changed the order of the include directories. When I put them back to their original order, my std::string code links fine.
