Hi,

I have a legacy project and we are upgrading the project's IDE from vs2003 to 2019.

it is a long jump. I am having a problem, which is a bottleneck for the delivery.

Problem:

Error C2504 'CLifetimeCuller': base class undefined

Based on the investigation, I found that the CLifetimeCuller class was declared in atlcache.h file, and this file has been removed from vs2008.

I am having a lot of errors due to not having atlcache.h file in vs2019. Could somebody suggest to me how I can resolve the error?

    The atlcache.h file was a part of the ancient ATLServer that was released to the public many years ago by Microsoft which ceased maintaining it.

    An internet search found a copy of that file at https://github.com/gabegundy/atlserver/blob/master/include/atlcache.h

    You will need to determine if that copy (and any other old ATLServer files) can be successfully used with VS2019.
