class redefinition / header guards not working

[whosecalling]

I am using Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition

I have the following header class.h:

#ifndef GUARD_CLASS_H
#define GUARD_CLASS_H

#include <vector>
#include <string>

class myclass {
};

<member fns definitions>

#endif // GUARD_CLASS_H



I have two .cpp files that require this class, so I include "class.h" and get re-definition errors. How can I get around this problem?

You shouldn't define functions in headers, they are used for declarations

so i moved the member fns (and contructor(s)) into a separate source called class.cpp snd used the #include "class.h" at the top. and that did the trick. was this the right thing to do?

Yes

Thank you very much for your help!
