assignment

Are there exceptions for types which can't have thier assignment operator overloaded?

Specifically, I'm wanting to overload the assignment operator of a struct tm (from time.h) so I can assign a sql::ResultSet to it.

I already have the conversion logic:

sscanf(sqlresult->getString("StoredAt").c_str(), "%d-%d-%d %d:%d:%d",
  &TempTimeStruct->tm_year, &TempTimeStruct->tm_mon, &TempTimeStruct->tm_mday,
  &TempTimeStruct->tm_hour, &TempTimeStruct->tm_min, &TempTimeStruct->tm_sec);

I tried the overload with this:

tm& tm::operator=(sql::ResultSet & results)
{
  /*CODE*/
  return *this;
}

However VS08 reports:

error C2511: 'tm &tm::operator =(sql::ResultSet &)' : overloaded member function not found in 'tm'
