I'm trying to port a C++ project from gcc (on MinGW) to Visual Studio 2010 inside a Visual C++ Windows Forms application. The code was originally written on a Windows XP 32-bit machine. Now it is being ported into a Windows 7 32-bit machine. This project uses quite a few boost libraries, including the boost::asio library. When I try to compile the code in VS2010 I get the following errors:

The problem is that Boost.Asio is not designed to be used MS C++ managed code. It will work with a regular C++ compiler (i.e. cl.exe). I'm out on a limb here as I do not know much about MS managed C++, but ASIO (which strives to be portable C++ networking library) really does not seem to be the tool for the job in such environment, even in case this is possible. If I were you I'd consider replacing ASIO with a more appropriate framework (.NET?) for this platform. HTH
