Thread: can't read whole line from file

I'm using Bloodshed's Dev-C++ 4.9.8.0

Code:

from custom.h header:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

struct PLAYER
{
    string Name;
    int Gold;
    int Hp;
    XP Xp;
    WEAPON Weapon;
    ARMOR Armor;
};

from main.cpp:
1   #include "custom.h"
2
3   int main()
4   {
5       PLAYER Player;
...       
23      ifstream loadpname;
24      loadpname.open("playername.txt");
25      loadpname.getline(Player.Name, 50, '\n');
26      loadpname.close();
27
28      return 0;
29  }

Why wont the above read the first line in playername.txt?
The compiler says this:

25 C:\programs\Spil\main.cpp
no matching function for call to `std::basic_ifstream<char,

664 C:\Dev-Cpp\include\c++\bits\istream.tcc
candidates are:

176 C:\Dev-Cpp\include\c++\istream
std::basic_istream<_CharT,

doesn't getline(blah) take strings?

if it doesn't then how do I determine how long the line is? So I
can use an array. I can't seem to find how to do it anywhere...
