CString to const *char or clr
-
Hello, Can someone please tell me how to convert from CString to const* char? I used the following from msdn website:
// Convert to a char* const size_t newsize = 100; char nstring[newsize]; strcpy_s(nstring, orig); strcat_s(nstring, " (char *)"); cout << nstring << endl;But it requires that I compile with clr. When I do that, my classx.cpp (all my class function) are considered errors. When I don't modify the property of my solution to clr, I still get two errors:fatal error C1190: managed targeted code requires a '/clr' optionIs there any other way to convert without using clr? Thank you. --Star -

Not sure if it is char or TCHAR, but so long as you're not building Unicode, they are the same.

Since the later 2 functions have more securuty enchancements you problem could be related with that.

CString::operator LPCTSTR. Again, it depends on project settings.

I guess, one should always use enhanced versions of functions. Isn't it ?

:confused:. How could be that ?
