Having an ofstream in the private data of a class

Hey everyone,

VC++ is givin me errors like

Code:

 error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier '_fileStream1'
error C2501: 'ofstream' : missing storage-class or type specifiers

because of the line

Code:

 ofstream _fileStream1;

which is in the private data section of my FileWriter class. I've attached the code below but i think i have included what i need to, is there somethin more about ofstreams that i need to know?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

class FileWriter  
{
public:
	FileWriter(char* file_path /*name of file to be written*/); 

	void write(char* item_name, int item_number);

private:

	ofstream _fileStream1;
};

Code:

...
private:

	std:: ofstream _fileStream1;
};

Cheers Wledge.

Nice1.
