error C2064: term does not evaluate to a function in using VC++

You didn't properly define or use a symbol that you appear to be using as a function.

Possible causes are:
- problems with the correct definition and use of function pointers (see the link in solution 1)
- failure to include the appropriate header for the function definition, if there is also a local symbol by the same name

There is also a slim chance that an unlucky #define-macro messes with your code, but the symbols in your code are looking fairly safe...


My guess is that instead of putting the declaration of the function ValidateBaseMaterial into a header file and include that, you copied it into your cpp file and accidenttaly ommitted the brackets like this:

int ValidateBaseMaterial; // <-- forgot the brackets!
 // ...
     if (!ValidateBaseMaterial())
          ^ error 2064!

Another possibility is that you defined the function like that right in your header file.
