Yes, ReadData() is a non-static class member function.  Illegal casts
to avoid compilation failure has, as you can tell, not saved you here.

Since you don't provide the implementation of any of the other calls
you are making, it is possible (maybe likely) that there are a number of
other errors in your code.
