Syntax errors when trying to use CString in Visual C++

My project is not happy regarding include cstring. It generates errors like:

    Error   10  error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'using'  C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\cstring  18  1   fgdll
    Error   95  error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'tanhf'  C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\cmath    26  1   fgdll
    Error   93  error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'tanf'   C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\cmath    26  1   fgdll
    Error   51  error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'strxfrm'    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\cstring  26  1   fgdll
    Error   49  error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'strtok' C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\cstring  26  1   fgdll
    Error   47  error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'strstr' C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\cstring  25  1   fgdll
...

How can I solve this problem?
