      Actually i will get the sharepoint folders which are stored in structures in the dll... Actually i must get ///////////////////////////// http://sharepoint/Docs http://sharepoint/News http://sharepoint/Reports http://sharepoint/SearchCenter http://sharepoint/SiteDirectory ///////////////////////////// when i put printf i.e printf("%d. is %S \n", i+1, elementValue[i]); I am getting the value for elementValue[i]

        Hi all.. As i am new c# .net......I have created a structure in Dll and calling that DLL in vc++ console Application.... I am getting the structure variable in my console application... when i put printf..I am able to see the values.. but when i save it in a text file i am getting buffer value .. Actually i am trying with code.. const _TCHAR *elementName[100]; const _TCHAR *elementValue[100]; Sharepoint_API::StructGetSite HUGEP *pBSTR; hr = SafeArrayAccessData(pICalc->GetData, (void HUGEP* FAR*)&pBSTR); for(i=0; i<pBSTR[0].totAttribute; i++){ elementName [i] = "NAME"; elementValue[i] = (LPCTSTR)pBSTR[i].Atrribute; printf("%d. is %S \n", i+1, elementValue[i]); ofstream TestFile("E:\\Test.txt",ios::app); if(TestFile) { TestFile<<elementValue[i];//"dd";//elementValue[i]; } else if(!TestFile) { } TestFile.close(); In printf I am getting the correct value... but in text file i am getting "h" pBSTR[0].totAttribute is the total count i am getting from structure from dll thank you....very much.. manju

        Since your writing a wide char text, either you have to use wofstream instead of ofstream or Covert the elementValue[i] to mutibyte using sprintf() or WideCharToMultiByte() before writing..

          If you need to write a UNICODE file the code I provided works fine but you have to put the proper BOM at the very start of the file, for instance

          TCHAR * szIn = _T("http://sharepoint/Docs");
          ofstream of("foo.txt", ios::out);
          #ifdef _UNICODE
          TCHAR BOM = 0xFEFF;
          of.write((const char *) &BOM, sizeof(TCHAR));
          #endif
          of.write((const char *) szIn, _tcslen(szIn)* sizeof(TCHAR));
          of.close();

          On the other hand, if you need to write a ANSI file then follow Naveen suggestion: use wofstream instead of ofstream.

            Also 'lokking' should be fixed in the signature. :-D

                    Hint: That's just not an emoticon, it is a hyperlink, in my previous post. A post of mine is downvoted for no good reason (IMHO) in that thread. So, superhero intervention needed.
