    char str[200]; GetData(str); CString sTemp = str; the CString assignment works fine here if first character of str is not empty. If str[0] ='' str[1] = 'a' etc... then after assignment sTemp contains empty string why?

      The constructor of CString only reads till the empty character, that's why. You can however do

      CopyMemory(sTemp.GetBuffer(count), str, count);
      sTemp.ReleaseBuffer(count);

        What do you mean with the above (i.e. it is NOT a valid statement, you know)? :)

          str[0]=''; error C2137: empty character constant(vc6.0) str[0]='\0'; is right :-D
