I am building a shell extn. project in .net ide which is
converted from vC++ 6.00.

During buid i am getting the following error
"error C2787: 'IContextMenu' : no GUID has been associated
with this object", The same project works fine in VC++6.0.

I have included the following files also
#include <shlguid.h>
#include <shobjidl.h>
#include <shlobj.h>

any help will be appreciated

This is interesting. There are two <comdef.h> header files in VC.NET, one in
Vc7/include and the other in Vc7/PlatformSDK/include. The former splits off
the smart pointer typedefs into comdefsp.h, and it doesn't include
IContextMenu. The latter does. You can try to #include the PlatformSDK
header directly, change your INCLUDE path order, or supply the missing
typedef yourself, e.g.

struct __declspec(uuid("000214e4-0000-0000-c000-000000000046"))
IContextMenu;

_COM_SMARTPTR_TYPEDEF(IContextMenu, __uuidof(IContextMenu));

The response is for people that find this thread by searching for the same error.

Just define at the top of the stdafx.h file above your includes:
#define _ATL_NO_UUIDOF
