IDocument defined in both esriframework.tlb and atlhandler.h when using VS2010 C++

I am attempting to port my project from VS 2008 to VS2010. When I try to compile I get the following error.

2010\src\esri\capturearcinfo\debug\esriframework.tlh(297): error C2872: 'IDocument' : ambiguous symbol
1> could be '....\src\esri\capturearcinfo\debug\esriframework.tlh(30) : IDocument'
1> or 'c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 10.0\vc\atlmfc\include\atlhandler.h(155) : ATL::IDocument'

From what I have been able to tell from the web MS has defined IDocument in ATL AND included a "using namespace..." inside the ATL header in VS2010.

Any suggestions before I surrender and go back to VS2008??

Thanks!

Robert

One solution is to rename ESRI IDocument when you import the typelibrary. This type of problem is common.

Hi Richard,

Yes. I have used that workaround for several other symbols. This one appears to be special. If I rename using the following line the IDocument class is no longer defined.

#import "\\builder\baseline\Packages\ESRI\Arc10\COM\esriFramework.olb" raw_interfaces_only raw_native_types no_namespace named_guids exclude("UINT_PTR") rename("IDocument", "esriDocument")

(beginning of missing symbol errors.)
