What exactly is
supposed to mean? I don't get it. I tried looking it up in MSDN, but it didn't help.
My source is here.
Please help the noob!

The compiler is saying ''You promised me (by making a prototype) that you were gonna create a function. Then you went and called it. But I don''t see that function anywhere.''
There are four possible causes of this mixup.
a) You included a library but it wasn''t linked
b) You mispelled a function in either the prototype or the definition
c) You created a function and forgot to design it
d) You created a member function. But when you defined it you forgot to tell the compiler that the definition applied to that class.
Here is what needs to be:
Note the ''foo::'' qualifier in front of the func() definition header.
99% of complaints of this type fall into one of those categories.

My apologies.
Item c should be:
c) You created the prototype for a function but forgot to define it.

Yep, take a look. Character::ConvertItemName() is never defined. Instead it is defines as plain old ConvertItemName. Add the scope operator and your set.

Thanks. I''ve never seen that type of error before, but I should be able to fix it.

Is it like

Is it like
string x = "Blah!"; kinda thing?
