#import ADO\msado15.dll compiler error

In my Visual. c++ application (.net) I am trying to manage a database with the ADO control.
In the .h file I have:
#define INITGUID
#import "c:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ADO\msado15.dll"
                  rename_namespace("ADOCG") rename ("EOF","EndOfFile")
using namespace ADOCG;
#include "icrsint.h"

class CCustomRs :
      public CADORecordBinding
{
public:
};

class CCustomRs :
      public CADORecordBinding
{
public:
};
And when I compile the projecte (dialog based), I get these error:
....MyApp\Debug\msado15.tlh(2374) : error C2059: syntax error : '-'
....MyAppDebug\msado15.tlh(2374) : error C2238: unexpected token(s) preceding ';'
....MyApp\CustomRs.h(3) : error C2501: 'rename_namespace' : missing storage-class or type specifiers

Can help, please?

If you are using .Net, why not use the oledb class?

I am following a book "Visual C++ .NET " - Davis Chapman from Apogeo, and try to learning Visual C++.
What is the difference between ADO and oledb class?
Can I add and delete records from database?
Thanks

Sure can.

If you are learning C++, have you considered C#??

In any case, i beleive all .Net languages can use the .net framework classes.. I must say i cant use C++ (bit of C# and compitent in dataAccess with VB .Net), ill see what i can do
