Vector is not a Template?

Question

I am currently trying to follow a tutorial on making a simple 2D tile engine for top-down RPGs. For some reason though I get the intellisense error

vector is not a template

The word "vector" is underlined with red. Why does this not work? Why is it telling me that it's a template, and why does the mean the program won't work?

#ifndef _IMAGEMANAGER_H #define _IMAGEMANAGER_H  #include <vector> #include <SFML\Graphics.hpp>  class ImageManager { private:     vector<sf::Texture> textureList;  public:     ImageManager();     ~ImageManager();      void AddTexture(sf::Texture& texture);     sf::Texture& GetTexture(int index); }; #endif 

Errors I get (no doubt some of these spawn from the error of this part above):

Answer 1

vector is from the std namespace, so you must use std:: to specify:

std::vector<sf::Texture> textureList; 

Or you can use a using statement:

using std::vector;  vector<sf::Texture> textureList;
