[Boost-users] [function] How to use function with templated member functions

Hi there, I would like to boost::function with a templated member function. Please consider the following code: struct my_reader { my_reader(bool full) { if( full ) { _read_function = &my_reader::read_full<int>; } else { _read_function = &my_reader::read_partial<int>; } } void read() { _read_function(this); } private: template< typename T > void read_full() { std::cout << "reading full image" << std::endl; } template< typename T > void read_partial() { std::cout << "reading partial image" << std::endl; } boost::function _read_function; }; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { my_reader r(false); r.read(); return 0; } This doesn't compile with Visual Studio 2010 since the compiler cannot: "cannot convert from 'overloaded-function' to 'boost::function<Signature>'" Is there is way to make this happen? Regards, Christian
