Ambiguous Symbol error, specifically: “error C2872: 'IMasterLoader' : ambiguous symbol” when using an interface I wrote in http://geekswithblogs.net/THines01/archive/2011/04/20/ambiguoussymbol.aspx C# with a class built in C++. 1: namespace IMasterLoader 2: { 3: public interface IMasterLoader where T : class 4: { 5: bool Load(T master, ref http://forums.codeguru.com/showthread.php?315462-Need-to-solve-error-C2872-ambiguous-symbol string strError); 6: } 7: }   Code producing the error: 1: // LmCellSectorLog.h 2: #pragma once 3: using namespace System; 4: using namespace System::Collections::Generic; 5: using namespace ambiguous symbol System::Data; 6:   7: namespace LmCellSectorLog { 8: using namespace IMasterLoader; 9: public ref class CLmCellSectorLogLoader : IMasterLoader 10: { 11: public: 12: virtual bool Load(CLmCellSectorLogMaster^ master, String^% strError); 13: }; 14: }     Compiler generated error C2872: 'IMasterLoader' : ambiguous symbol: While searching for a solution to this problem, I encountered the Compiler Error error c2872 ambiguous C2872 (C++) page from MSDN, which didn’t have my exact solution, but led me to think differently about the syntax. Jumping forward to the solution: Assuming the problem was the compiler’s “scope” and recognition of the interface, I eventually changed the reference by fully qualifying the interface name with the “scope resolution operator (::)” and that solved the problem. At that point, it was no longer necessary to reference the interface at the namespace:   1: public ref class CLmCellSectorLogLoader : ::IMasterLoader::IMasterLoader 2: { 3: public: 4: virtual bool Load(CLmCellSectorLogMaster^ master, String^% strError); 5: };     Technorati Tags: code,ambiguous symbol,.net,dot net,CSharp,CPlusPlus,C#,C++ Share This Post:Short Url: http://wblo.gs/biE posted @ Wednesday, April 20, 2011 9:26 AM Print Comments on this entry: #re: Ambiguous Symbol -- Compiler Error C2872 Left by Robin Wernick at 1/3/2013 7:33 PM Like most people you got half of the "if" question right.

Could someone help me solve this probleme? I just can't remove the enum in a.h since I'm using it as parameter for a methode in the same header. Is there a way to specify to b.cpp which enum to use? Thanks a lot for your answer!

However, you can enclose your enumerations inside different namespaces: Code: namespace
