atlconv.h header error!!!

[Karthik]

When I try to compile my VC++ program (am Using VS6.0). I get the
following error in a header file ATLCONV.H.

c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\atl\include\atlconv.h(52)
: error C2065: '_ASSERTE' : undeclared identifier
Error executing cl.exe.

and it points to

inline LPWSTR WINAPI AtlA2WHelper(LPWSTR lpw, LPCSTR lpa, int nChars,
UINT acp)
{
ATLASSERT(lpa != NULL); //points to this line. Error is here
ATLASSERT(lpw != NULL);

//rest of the header code
}

This is the only error I have. I tried to include assert.h but the
error multiplies... so I had revert back. Since it is showing an error
on the header file, is it BUG in the compiler or something? or am I
seeing things differently?

My Main program has the following include statements

#include "asapdefs.h"

#include "atlconv.h"

#include "stdafx.h"

#include <string>

//#undef new


#import "..\..\SomeTLBfile.tlb" raw_interfaces_only

//someother code

Any inputs or thoughts????

I added altbase.h.. in the include stmnt solved my error!!!

#include "asapdefs.h"

#include "atlconv.h"

#include "stdafx.h"

#include <string>

The precompiled header (stdafx.h) must ve the *first* non-comment statement
in your cpp file... Put it before other includes
