ERROR '_atoi64' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'LPCTSTR' to 'const char *'

[Purish Dwivedi]

This is my code segment. CString timestamp; int year = _atoi64((LPCTSTR)timestamp.Left(4)); I am getting an error like '_atoi64' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'LPCTSTR' to 'const char *' How can I remove it? Thanks.

try _ttoi(static_cast(timestamp.Left(4))); You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

Thanks Anshuman, It worked for me.

BTW, the static_cast<lpctstr>() is useless and can be omitted

Just adding to toxcct's reply, CString has the LPCTSTR operator!
