.NET Forum / Languages / Managed C++ / July 2006Failed to return new code element
Hi, I have a VS2005 VC++ application which no longer allows me to add a Variable or Function to a class in the project. I attempt to add a new (public) Variable called Temp123, and get this error... Failed to return new Code Element. Possibley syntax error. New Element Name. Temp123 I recently changed the name of the cpp file (using Solution Explorer) of this class. Since that change, the error always occurs. I attempted to change the cpp name back to its original name, but still get the error. Can anyone help me out.

Marcus Hi Marcus, I tried your suggestion, but still have the same problem.

Tried that, and it did not work.

To find the source, I would comment out the whole body of the class and see if it is possilbe to add a new function to the empty class. If yes, uncomment more and more parts until the problem reappears. If you have found the reason, please share it here. I don't see anything better to do here, sorry Marcus Here is what I did to get it to work. I created a new class. I cut & pasted the code from the original classes .h & .cpp files into the respective .h & .cpp files of the new class. In the new class files, I then replace the old class name with the new, then I deleted the original class files. It was a round about way, but it worked.

Delete the Intellisense (NCB) Database 3. Reopen the workspace 4. Allow VC to rebuild the Intellisense database Now the add method / property worked just fine.
