Error C2143: missing ';' before '->'

Question

I've searched here and the internet and no one seems to be having a similar problem to me and I can't quite figure out why I cannot get this to work.

The line that is preventing me from compiling is:

LitCiterCommon::LitCiterTrace->Init();

If I call LitCiterTrace.Init() from a different file (c#) it compiles just fine, but for some reason I cannot call it from managed cpp.

Any ideas or suggestions?

`Init` is probably a static function. You need to call it as such: `LitCiterCommon::LitCiterTrace::Init();` — Anton Tykhyy, Jan 30 '12 at 15:16

// this is no different than calling a static member method in C++
LitCiterCommon::LitCiterTrace::Init();

Haha, I didn't even notice that my partner changed it to a static method while I was gone...I really need to stop taking vacations away from this codebase. Thanks again for catching my stupidity. – doyler Jan 30 '12 at 15:21
