name conflict/ vs 2010, c++ about tinyxml2 HOT 6 CLOSED

You can use:
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include windows.h

to exclude the windows XML headers. Or this should work (although I haven't confirmed):
tinyxml2::XMLDocument

I don't know a concise solution if you are using the full windows headers and don't want to append the tinyxml2:: everywhere. I'm hoping someone else may know.

@jelemans You're probably importing/using the full namespace, not a good idea (on windows). I would suggest aliasing the namespace, for example:

 namespace TinyXML = tinyxml2;
 namespace TXML = tinyxml2;
 ...
 TinyXML::XMLDocument ...
 TXML::XMLDocument ...

That way it at least looks pretty. :)

I come across the same problem and I solved it like this, in the tinyxml2.cpp brace all the code in the namespace tinyxml2 like this:

#include "tinyxml2.h"

#if 1
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <new>
#else
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <new>
#include <stdarg.h>
#endif
namespace tinyxml2
{
    class XMLDocument;
    class XMLElement;
    class XMLAttribute;
    class XMLComment;
    class XMLNode;
    class XMLText;
    class XMLDeclaration;
    class XMLUnknown;
    class XMLPrinter;

    // the previous code in this file

}  // namespace tinyxml2
// end of the file

I just came across this same issue. I used the idea from @tlh1987 by enclosing the code in the namespace.

Code compiles now on VS 2010, clang 4.1 (OS X) and gcc 4.6.3 (Linux).

@kainjow It dose't work for me , I download the latest version and have added using namespace tinyxml2; to my cpp file.

Compiles on VS2010 Win7 (64Bit) , It's still report the error

I wouldn't use 'using namespace', kind of defeats the purpose of namespaces in the first place. Just use tinyxml2::XMLDocument, etc.
