      No need to convert anything, you can simply assign your buffer in your CString object:

      CString csPath = buffer;

      If you need to concatenate your buffer at the end of the CString content, you can also do it like this:

      CString csPath = "Something";
      csPath += buffer;

      BTW, what is SIZEOFTCHAR ? What is its value ? If it is the size of one character, then your string will only be able to contain 1 single character, so I guess this is not really what you want.

                I make a guess: This sample [^] uses 32767, that is **0x**8000-1 (Well..., actually the two things are probably unrelated...) :-D

                          CString is 16 bit under unicode but 8bit under non unicode version i guess. but so underunicode version direct conversion can be done as TCHAR is unsigned short. where in non unicode version, WideCharToMultiByte() can be used
