Answer 1

Define NOMINMAX via a compiler flag:

> cl.exe -DNOMINMAX ...

this will then be defined for all of the source files. I don't use the IDEs but this page provides guidance on navigating the IDE to set this: Using STL in Windows Program Can Cause Min/Max Conflicts :

Simply define the NOMINMAX preprocessor symbol. This can be done in the Developer Studio project under Build, Settings, on the C/C++ tab, in the Preprocessor category. This will suppress the min and max definitions in Windef.h.
