    <p>I am trying to build someone else's code in VS2010. It builds fine in VS2005, but I need to upgrade it.</p> <p>They have defined a macro as follows in a header:</p> <pre><code>#include &lt;boost/scoped_ptr.hpp&gt; #include &lt;boost/utility.hpp&gt; #include &lt;boost/thread/once.hpp&gt; #define DEFINE_SINGLETON(name) boost::scoped_ptr&lt;name&gt; Singleton&lt;name&gt;::_instance template&lt;class T&gt; class Singleton : private boost::noncopyable { public: static T&amp; instance() { boost::call_once(init, flag); return *_instance; } static void init() { _instance.reset(new T()); } protected: Singleton() {} ~Singleton() {} private: static boost::scoped_ptr&lt;T&gt; _instance; static boost::once_flag flag; }; template&lt;class T&gt; boost::once_flag Singleton&lt;T&gt;::flag = BOOST_ONCE_INIT; </code></pre> <p>I've managed to get the code to build now, but I am getting lots of linker errors about this macro:</p> <pre><code>project1.lib(file1.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "private: static class boost::scoped_ptr&lt;class ClassABC&gt; Singleton&lt;class ClassABC&gt;::_instance" (?_instance@?$Singleton@VClassABC@@@@0V?$scoped_ptr@VClassABC@@@boost@@A) </code></pre> <p>An example of the macro being used (in source file):</p> <pre><code>#include "singleton.h" DEFINE_SINGLETON(ClassABC); </code></pre> <p>I am quite new to Boost and also to templates (sorry), so I cannot fathom why I'm getting these errors when it all linked fine in VS2005. Its worth noting, that in order to do the upgrade we have also had to upgrade our Boost version, so this could be a factor - a few checks already performed:</p> <ul> <li>Header file is included in source file</li> <li>Boost dir is added to include dirs (under VC++ dirs inproperty pages)</li> <li>Added boost lib dir to Linker -> General -> Additional library dependencies</li> </ul> <p>For info, I am compiling a Multi-threaded debug dll on Win32.</p> <p>I have spent most of the day googling to no avail, so any help greatly appreciated!</p> <p>Many thanks :)</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
