Here is an example of how useful MSDN isn't:
Like I said in another post - MSDN assumes a full understanding of C++ before you start, which defeats the entire purpose of having it.Quote:
Compiler Error C2106
'operator' : left operand must be l-value
The left operand of the given operator was not an l-value.
I'm sorry, but this kind of crap makes my blood boil.
that probably means you are assigning something that isn't assignable, post the line that it complains about
No, MSDN is for API documentation. It does not teach you how to program, there are other tutorials for that.Quote:

PS: An l-value is something that can appear on the left of an expression, i.e. you can assign something to it, like Ked says.
An r-value is something that can appear on the right (which is most things).
You have two misunderstandings here:
a) Your problem has nothing to do with MSDN. It's a simple C++ syntax error.
b) (like parksie said) MSDN is a reference, not a tutorial. Of course it assumes that you can program.
