    Unhappy Ifstream Problems

    For the first time I have used the appwizard in MFC to create a Dialog based app. Now I'm trying to do some ifstream stuff... as follows:

    CString name;

    ifstream test;
    test.open("C:\\example.txt");
    test >> name;

    And I get the error:
    error C2678: binary '>>' : no operator defined which takes a left-hand operand of type 'class ifstream' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

    I have added the #include <fstream.h> and/or #include <fstream> statements but always get some sort of error. Could someone help me? I have done this in other projects and they usually work. I have done so much with this project to have something like this keep me back!

    Try to avoid mixing object libraries.......use a CFile in substitute for the ifstream
