Hi,
I downloaded a program that shows how RSA works and I tried compiling it using MSVS 2003 .net but it is giving me this error:
error C2593: 'operator =' is ambiguous

The code is below. I highlighted the two places where the problem occurs for convenience:
Code:
// EC1AssignmentDlg.cpp : implementation file
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "EC1Assignment.h"
#include "EC1AssignmentDlg.h"
#include "abstract.h"

#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_NEW
#undef THIS_FILE
static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__;
#endif
