What are you trying to do here? strarr is not an array like you might think. If you need an array of CString objects, use CStringArray. Otherwise, you'll need something like:

char *strarr[] = {"JAYARAJ", "bala"};

Your function returns _one_ CString, not an array.

CStringArray myclass::getStr()
{
CStringArray csa;
csa.Add("str1");
csa.Add("str2");
return csa;
}

You could use a vector of CStrings:

vector<CString> Doit()
{
CString s;
vector<CString> a;
s = "as";
a.push_back(s);
s = "ass";//this one is for my boss.
a.push_back(s);
return a;
}

Now to use it:

CString s;
vector<CString> a;
a = Doit();

this is this.

i got this error what to do? error C2558: class 'CStringArray' : no copy constructor available JAYARAJ

You cannot use the = operator on a CStringArray, you'll have to use the Copy function. ~RaGE();

Of course u have type conflict. It look like you wrote int myclass::getInt() { int arr[]={1,1} return arr; } May be this helps:

CString[] myclass::getStr()
{
CString strarr[]={"JAYARAJ","bala"}
return strarr;
}

It should work, if no then try this

CString *myclass::getStr()
{
CString strarr[]={"JAYARAJ","bala"}
return (CString *)strarr;
}

BTW strarr seems to have local scope. So what you want to return is unclear. If I understand what you try to do, it better to declare it in class itself:

class myclass{
...
public: /*private if you want*/
CString strarr[]={"JAYARAJ","bala"}

....

}

or specify static class storage

CString[] myclass::getStr()
{
static CString strarr[]={"JAYARAJ","bala"}
return strarr;
}
