Hello group,

I am new to Visual C++ 8 and have a seemingly trivial problem using
namespaces. The scenario: I have two classes, TestClass1 and
TestClass2, in the namespace Test. I would like to create a reference
to TestClass2 in TestClass1; but the compiler doesn't seem to recognize
the namespace Test and any classes in it.

Here are my class definitions and declarations:

---------- TestClass1.h -------------
#pragma once
#include "TestClass2.h"

namespace Test
{
    public ref class TestClass1
    {
    public:
        TestClass1(void);
        Test::TestClass2^ t2; // <-- results in error
    };
};

----------------- TestClass2.h --------------
#pragma once
#include "TestClass1.h"

namespace Test
{
    public ref class TestClass2
    {
    public:
        TestClass2(void);
    };
};

-------------- TestClass1.cpp ------------------
#include "StdAfx.h"
#include "TestClass1.h"

Test::TestClass1::TestClass1(void)
{
}

-------------- TestClass2.cpp ------------------
#include "StdAfx.h"
#include "TestClass2.h"

Test::TestClass2::TestClass2(void)
{
}

--------------- end of code ----------------------

Compilation results in the following: "error C2039: 'TestClass2' : is
not a member of 'Test'".
If I include "using namespace Test" in either of the header files, I
get an error saying that the namespace Test does not exist. However,
Intellisense does list TestClass2 as a member of Test, and the
namespace Test is listed in the object browser.

I must be overlooking something embarasingly simple here. Any
suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael.
