Hi,

I think I know what you are trying to do here but I don't quite get it
why did you thought to write it that way. If you want m_source to get
the value Src you should just write:

m_source = Src;

or using the setter

setSource(Src);

'source' get's you the address of the member function and you are
trying to assign a string to it.

BTW: variables usually start with lover case in the convention we use.
