Linker error with v1.4.5.0

VCL TMS Async
1

Starting with a new PC, Win 7, 64-bit, fresh install of CodeGear RAD Studio XE Pro, and downloaded latest TMS Async 32, I get the following error when compiling program in C++ Builder XE:

[ILINK32 Error] Error: Unresolved external '__fastcall Vacomm::TVaCustomComm::SetDeviceName(const System::AnsiStringT<0>) referenced from...
 
The offending line is:
void __fastcall TMainForm::ComboBox1Change(TObject *Sender)
{
  (void) Sender;  //... Quiet compiler warning
 
  //... Configure the Serial port
  VaComm1->DeviceName = ComboBox1->Text;   //...  <--  This line generates error
  VaComm1->Open();
  .
  .
  .
}
 
  The function to populate the ComboBox is:
void __fastcall TMainForm::ComboBox1DropDown(TObject *Sender)
{
  TStringList* tslAvailablePorts = new TStringList();
 
  (void) Sender;  //... Quiet compiler warning
 
  //... Clear the existing List
  ComboBox1->Items->Clear();
  VaComm1->GetComPortNames(tslAvailablePorts);
  ComboBox1->Items->AddStrings(tslAvailablePorts);
}
  Any help would be appreciated. 
 
Thanks,

It's not immediately clear what is causing this.
SetDeviceName is defined as:

SetDeviceName(const System::UnicodeString Value);
It is not clear why it tried to find a function with AnsiString parameter.
Could try to cast the string to assign as UnicodeString?

I'm not exactly sure.  This is the same code that worked with earlier version (1.3.8.0) of Async 32 and C++ Builder 2007 on Windows Vista 64 bit.

- To step around this, I created a new project, dropped in a new VaComm1 object, copied relevant lines from previous project.
Going back to C++ Builder 2007 / Vista is not an option...     :)

Sorry, but I have no idea on this. I cannot see a problem here. Again, can you make sure that you pass a UnicodeString type to SetDeviceName

Yes, typecasting the string worked:

 
 VaComm1->DeviceName = (UnicodeString) ComboBox1->Text;
