Solution 3

I figured it out :D

It was an header that was redefining the _vsnprintf function
I commented it and it compiles now

Solution 1

It's been a few years since I had to deal with C++, but I suspect it means that you have to do a clean/rebuild of your solution. You probably have a lib file being linked in from the old compiler.

Did you rebuild your application completely after you moved to VS2008? I know that functions like the above are now deprecated and Microsoft recommends using the _vsnprintf_s() versions instead. Since introducing this they also added lots of macros which are supposed to 'ease the transition'. My experience suggests cleaning the project thoroughly and rebuilding under the new version.
