should be:

Point& Point::operator =(const Point &p)

because you aren't (and shouldn't be) modifying p.
After that, it compiles fine in Comeau C++ compiler.

And that will then be the 5th time the OP has been told (one way or another) that it needs to take a const reference.

I have no idea? Maybe one of them has a bug, or maybe one has an extension to try to make it more helpful?

The problem is that .NET does NOT have C++ as one of its languages. It has this thing called C++/CLI that is based on C++, but it isn't the same as C++, and you ran into one of the silly little differences. It should probably be const in both cases.

When he says .NET, I'm assuming he's referring to Visual Studio .NET (2001 - 2008?).
When you create a new project in VC++ you have options for CLR, Win32 and General.
I've never used CLR, but I hear it works great for cleaning dirty coffee pots. :D
