getline: identifier not found

I have problem with getline().

I tried many examples and read other solutions, but that didn't solve my problem. I still have information 'getline: identifier not found'.

I included <stdio.h> <tchar.h> <iostream> <conio.h> <stdlib.h> <fstream> and still nothing.

#include "stdafx.h"

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    string line;
    getline(cin, line);
    cout << "You entered: " << line << endl;
}

What do I need to do now?

I use Windows 7 64 bit and Visual Studio 2013.

You need to use

#include "string"

Read: std::getline

#include <string>

Incidentally, "Murach's C++ Programming" textbook incorrectly states that getline() is in the iostream header (p. 71) which may lead to some confusion.

Get used to simply reading the documentation for the language features that you use.
cppreference is quite clear that std::getline may found in string.

#include <string>

This should fix that:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]){
   string line;
   getline(cin, line);
   cout << "You entered: " << line << endl;
}
