    why.. error using list container...

    I dont know.. why MVC++ teasing me.....

    trying to use list container.. but giving me the error...

    see code of main.cpp I have mentioned errors...
    and also code of student class is next to main.cpp
    project in self extractor form is attached..
    ----------main.cpp-------------
    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <conio.h>
    #include <list.h>
    #include "Menu.h" // for the Menu function...
    //list<student> stlist;//giving me error here...??? 
    //If I uncommented .. the error is "error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '<'" 
    //#include "student.h"
    #include "student.cpp"
    
    int main(void)
    {
    	
    	Menu(); //to call menu function defined in Menu.h 	
    	list<student> stlist;//giving me error here...tooo??? 
    	return 0; //error is "undeclared identifier."
    }
    code of student.cpp
    Code:
    // student.cpp: implementation of the student class.
    //

    {
    	setname("Undefined name.");
    	setaddress ( "Undefined Address." );
    	//default constructor...
    }
    
    student::~student()

    The standard header is <list>, not <list.h>. In the std namespace.

    Code:
    //list<student> stlist;//giving me error here...??? 
    //If I uncommented .. the error is "error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '<'" 
    //#include "student.h"
    #include "student.cpp"
    Look, you're declaring a list of type student before student is even defined (included). Move the declaration below the #includes for your student class. Also, you shouldn't be including that cpp file in your project, you don't include cpp's, you compile and link them.
