I'm an experienced programmer of 5 years in Java & C#, but recently I decided to program in C++ as well. I'm familiar with proper code syntax and advanced programming techniques, but this compiler error i'm getting just stumps me beyond recognition, I've analyzed my code for syntax errors a hundredfold and I simply don't see a fault in it.

The compiler generates 'fatal error C1004: unexpected end-of-file found'.

This is a wrapper for a Direct3D D3DCOLOR.

Originally this was split into a header and source file, with class Color being declared in the header and defined in the source.
I removed that to simplify this post.

Any clear help will be very appreciated, and special thanks to the experts and professionals that take the time to look at an amateur c++ programmers problem.

Hmm, well make sure that "d3d9.h" includes #endif if there is #ifndef

The problem might be that you are not using include guards and are accidentally including either the .h or .cpp file twice.

Also, you should add a blank line to the end of each of your files (some old systems/compilers require this to my knowledge).

Your class is missing a ; after the closing }

I didn't notice that, but yeah, that is important too!

Haha... I didn't know that c++ classes required a semicolon after the ending right curly brace.

Thanks Salem and CppFTW, and yes the header file does have an include guard. I rebuilt the code and it compiled successfully.

Oh, okay, but just make sure that your .cpp also has an include guard (I don't see it in the code snippet).

Haha... I didn't know that c++ classes required a semicolon after the ending right curly brace.

One of the idiosynchracies of the language.
And of course you get an unexpected end of file if it's not there and the file ends :)

Add a semi colon to the end of the file
