Error : no instance of overloaded function

Question

I'm trying to insert some lines in my Database (SQL Server 2008) with this code :

CDB.cpp

#include "CDB.h"

void CDB::ajouterAlerte(){
    SqlConnection      ^ mySQLConnection;
    SqlDataAdapter     ^ myDataAdapter;
    DataSet            ^ myDataSet;
    DataRow            ^ myRow;
    SqlParameter       ^ myParameter;

    try
    {
        mySQLConnection = gcnew SqlConnection("Data Source=NECTARYS-PC;Initial Catalog=MonitoringN;Integrated Security=True;");
        myDataAdapter = gcnew SqlDataAdapter();
        myDataSet = gcnew DataSet();

        // Open up the connection
        mySQLConnection->Open();

        myDataAdapter->SelectCommand = gcnew SqlCommand("select * from Alerte", mySQLConnection);
        myDataAdapter->InsertCommand = gcnew SqlCommand("insert into Alerte (motif,dateAlerte," +
            "fixee,nomPoste,nomApplication,nomFichier,FichierModel_id) values (@motif,@dateAlerte," +
            "@fixee,@nomPoste,@nomApplication,@nomFichier,@FichierModel_id)", mySQLConnection);

        myParameter = myDataAdapter->InsertCommand->Parameters->Add(
            gcnew SqlParameter("@motif", SqlDbType::VarChar));
        myParameter->SourceColumn = "motif";
        myParameter->SourceVersion = DataRowVersion::Current;

        myParameter = myDataAdapter->InsertCommand->Parameters->Add(
            gcnew SqlParameter("@dateAlerte", SqlDbType::VarChar));
        myParameter->SourceColumn = "dateAlerte";
        myParameter->SourceVersion = DataRowVersion::Current;

        myParameter = myDataAdapter->InsertCommand->Parameters->Add(
            gcnew SqlParameter("@fixee", SqlDbType::Bit));
        myParameter->SourceColumn = "fixee";
        myParameter->SourceVersion = DataRowVersion::Current;

        myParameter = myDataAdapter->InsertCommand->Parameters->Add(
            gcnew SqlParameter("@nomPoste", SqlDbType::VarChar));
        myParameter->SourceColumn = "nomPoste";
        myParameter->SourceVersion = DataRowVersion::Current;

        myParameter = myDataAdapter->InsertCommand->Parameters->Add(
            gcnew SqlParameter("@nomApplication", SqlDbType::VarChar));
        myParameter->SourceColumn = "nomApplication";
        myParameter->SourceVersion = DataRowVersion::Current;

        myParameter = myDataAdapter->InsertCommand->Parameters->Add(
            gcnew SqlParameter("@nomFichier", SqlDbType::VarChar));
        myParameter->SourceColumn = "nomFichier";
        myParameter->SourceVersion = DataRowVersion::Current;

        myParameter = myDataAdapter->InsertCommand->Parameters->Add(
            gcnew SqlParameter("@FichierModel_id", SqlDbType::Int));
        myParameter->SourceColumn = "FichierModel_id";
        myParameter->SourceVersion = DataRowVersion::Current;

        time_t now = time(0);
        tm ltm;
        localtime_s(&ltm, &now);
        std::stringstream str;
        str << ltm.tm_mday
            << "/"

        String^ dateAjoutSysteme = gcnew System::String(str.str().c_str());

        Boolean fixee = true;

        myDataAdapter->Fill(myDataSet, "Alerte");
        myRow = myDataSet->Tables["Alerte"]->NewRow();
        myRow->ItemArray[0] = "A";
        myRow->ItemArray[1] = dateAjoutSysteme;
        myRow->ItemArray[2] = fixee;
        myRow->ItemArray[3] = "B";
        myRow->ItemArray[4] = "C";
        myRow->ItemArray[5] = "D";
        myRow->ItemArray[6] = NULL;
        myDataSet->Tables["Alerte"]->Rows->Add(myRow);

        //we use insertcommand property for the update.
        myDataAdapter->Update(myDataSet, "Alerte");
    }
    catch (Exception ^ e) {
        Console::Write(e->ToString());
    }
    __finally {
        mySQLConnection->Close();
        system("PAUSE");
    }
}

LISTSTR CDB::getListeAppsMetiers(){

    SqlConnection      ^ mySQLConnection;
    SqlCommand         ^ mySQL;
    SqlDataReader      ^ myReader;
    SqlDataAdapter     ^ myDataAdapter;
    DataSet            ^ myDataSet;
    DataRow            ^ myRow;
    SqlParameter       ^ myParameter;

    LISTSTR::iterator i;
    LISTSTR            listeAppsMetiers;

    try
    {
        mySQLConnection = gcnew SqlConnection("Data Source=NECTARYS-PC;Initial Catalog=MonitoringN;Integrated Security=True;");
        mySQL = gcnew SqlCommand("select * from AppMetier", mySQLConnection);

        mySQLConnection->Open(); // Open up the connection
        myReader = mySQL->ExecuteReader();

        while (myReader->Read())
            listeAppsMetiers.insert(listeAppsMetiers.end(), myReader["chemin"]->ToString()); // the error is marked at the point, just before insert(...

        return listeAppsMetiers;
    }
    catch (Exception ^ e)
    {
        Console::Write(e->ToString());
    }
    __finally
    {
        myReader->Close();
        mySQLConnection->Close();
    }
}

CDB.h

#using <mscorlib.dll>
#using <System.dll>
#using <system.data.dll>
#using <System.Xml.dll>

#pragma warning (disable:4786)
#include <list>
#include <sstream>

using namespace System;

typedef std::list<std::string> LISTSTR;

class CDB{
    CDB(){} //ctor
    virtual ~CDB(){}

public:
    void ajouterAlerte(){}
    LISTSTR getListeAppsMetiers(){}
};

But, I've got errors on the marked line and I haven't found how to fix them :

no instance of overloaded function "std::list<_Ty, _Alloc>::insert[with _Ty=std::string, _Alloc=std::allocator]" matches the argument list argument types are : (std::_List_iterator>>, System::String ^) object type is: LISTSTR

Any brilliant idea, please ?

You need to convert `String^` to `std::string`. Look here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/946813/c-cli-converting-from-systemstring-to-stdstring — Alex F, Feb 06 '14 at 08:34
@AlexFarber, Thanks for response, but what do I need to convert ? — Lucie kulza, Feb 06 '14 at 08:37
`myReader["chemin"]->ToString()` is `String^`, and you need `std::string` — Alex F, Feb 06 '14 at 09:40
Yes, that's it. Thank you very much. Please make an answer to resolve this topic. — Lucie kulza, Feb 06 '14 at 09:42

As explained in the comments above: You're trying to insert the value myReader["chemin"]->ToString(), which is of the Microsoft-invented type String^, into a list of normal std::strings. There's no implicit conversion between Microsoft String and std::string; you'll have to do the conversion explicitly.

Luckily there is a CLR library function to do this: marshal_as.

#include <msclr/marshal_cppstd.h>

...

while (myReader->Read()) {
    listeAppsMetiers.insert(
        listeAppsMetiers.end(),
        msclr::interop::marshal_as<std::string>( myReader["chemin"]->ToString() ));
}
