[Boost-users] boost::lambda::bind with shared_ptr

Is there any way using BLL's bind to bind to shared_ptrs in a container?

e.g.:

class MyClass
{
public:
    std::string MyFunc()
    {
        return str;
    }

private:
    string str;
};

vector<shared_ptr<MyClass> > v;

find_if( v.begin(), v.end(), boost::lambda::bind( &MyClass::MyFunc, _1 ) == 
string( "steve" ) );

In visual studio with the scenario I get errors indicating it can't find 
MyFunc in the interface for shared_ptr, which you'd expect, except for the 
fact that boost::bind works with shared poiners.  Is it the case that 
boost::lambda::bind doesn't?  If so, that's unfortunate as it rules out 
using lambda with containers of shared_ptrs in a lot of cases.  What am I 
missing?
