strings

I thought i'd have a try at making myself a linked list, get some practise using pointers and such. Anyway, in coding the CNode class i've had these errors:
error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'name'
error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
with this code:

Code:

#ifndef CNODE_H
#define CNODE_H

class CNode
{
public:
	CNode();
	string name;
	CNode *next;
};

#endif

Error C4430 refers to the line 'string name;'. I've tried it with an Int and i dont get the errors, and i've tried including <string> but that doesnt help either. I know it's going to be something stupid, but i just cant see it, thanks for your help.

How about?

Code:

#ifndef CNODE_H
#define CNODE_H

#include <string> 

class CNode
{
public:
	CNode();
	std::string name;
	CNode *next;
};

#endif

ohhh! I dont remember needing to use namespaces with strings....anyway, cheers mate

EDIT: it actually works without the #include <string> too

If it does it is because your compiler is guessing what you want. Trust me, relying on that is not portable!
