I am researching the Quick Graph library for a school project in hopes that I won't have to use a C++/CLI implementation of a graph. For now, I would just like to run an example program that I found off of the QuickGraph discussion board.
I am unable to compile the example I found because of four syntax errors. I think I can solve two of the errors on my own but the first I can't understand why the first two errors are happening.
The code that I am trying to compile, which can also be found here Quick Graph Demo
AdjacencyGraph<string, Edge<string>> graph = new AdjacencyGraph<string, Edge<string>>(true);
// Add some vertices to the graph
graph.AddVertex("A");
graph.AddVertex("B");
graph.AddVertex("C");
graph.AddVertex("D");
graph.AddVertex("E");
graph.AddVertex("F");
graph.AddVertex("G");
graph.AddVertex("H");
graph.AddVertex("I");
graph.AddVertex("J");

I'm assuming that the example had worked sometime in the past but some syntax has changed in during any updates that may have happened to the library. The two lines that are giving me error are the lines when the original creator of the code instantiated the DijkstraShortestPathAlgorithm and VertexDistanceRecorderObserver below the edge cost declarations. I'm hoping there is someone who has used this library recently to help me make sense of these answers or if possible direct me to some more recent examples of the quick graph. Thanks sincerely in advance.
