Compiler Error C3285

for each statement cannot operate on variables of type 'type'

The for each statement repeats a group of embedded statements for each element in an array or an object collection.

See for each, in for more information.

Example

The following sample generates C3285.

// C3285.cpp
// compile with: /clr
int main() {
   for each (int i in 0) {}   // C3285

   array<int> ^p = { 1, 2, 3 };
   for each (int j in p) {}   // OK
}
