Compiling error (need help)

I am using Microsoft VC++ 6.0. When I try using 'afx.h' and 'iostream.h' at the same time. Nothing goes wrong unless I use either 'cin' or 'cout'. When I compile I get the following:

Code:

---

Compiling...
Text1.cpp
Linking...
nafxcwd.lib(thrdcore.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __endthreadex
nafxcwd.lib(thrdcore.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __beginthreadex
Debug/Text1.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

Text1.exe - 3 error(s), 0 warning(s)

---

Here is the sample piece of code that generated the output above, although anything I have tried that has all of these statements in it also genorates the same error.

Code:

---

#include <afx.h>
#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
        CString the_text = "Hello World!";
        cout << the_text;
        return 0;
}

---

I would like some help on this, and any information would be usefull.

What does afx.h do? If you're just using it for the CString, why not use STL's <string> and the string class? Also, you should always use <iostream>, and the std namespace, instead of <iostream.h>.

Code:

---

cout << the_text << endl;

---

endl flushes the buffer.

Yeah, I would just use the STL string. But if you really want to use CString, then I think the problem is that you aren't linking some needed libraries for the afx.h stuff. Are you using MSVC, and if so, did you specify that you want to create an MFC project? If you didn't, then you'll probably have to add the needed libraries(I don't really know what they are) to the project manually.

Come to think of it, should you really be including the afx and iostream(notice how there's no .h on iostream, heh) headers in the same project?
