    Hi There. I am using VS2008, and am facing above problem. For details, below is what I am doing...

    CString strSource = L"Hello";
    TCHAR SourceFile[] = strSource;

    Please suggest. Thanks PanB

      Found a Solution: Above conversion can be done using _tcscpy function. Eg:

      CString strSource = L"Hello";
      TCHAR SourceFile[100];
      _tcscpy(SourceFile, strSource );

        Why do you need it? Are you sure you need to convert a wide char string into a generic text mappings array? If the answer to the second question is yes then you need something like:

        HRESULT hr;
        TCHAR SourceFile[0x100];
        CString strSource = CString(L"Hello");
        hr = StringCbCopy(SourceFile, sizeof(SourceFile), strSource);
        // check hr value for success or failure here

        :)

          Your solution only works on UNICODE builds. On the other hand, you may easily generalize it with

          CString strSource = _T("Hello");
          TCHAR SourceFile[100];
          _tcscpy(SourceFile, strSource );

          to work both in UNICODE and in ANSI builds. :)
