_bstr_t to std::string

Use
_bstr_t'schar*extraction operator:_bstr_t bStr(L"Hello");
std::string str((char*)bStr);Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p CodeProject MVP for 2010 - who'd'a thunk it!

_bstr_tat all, but from the documentation I would say the extraction operator merely gives a pointer to the internal data buffer. That's most probably not what he needs. He should convert the UTF-16 encoded _bstr_t string to some multibyte encoding first to store it tostd::string. -

This copy is the internal data buffer that the char* extractor returns a pointer to.

Interesting. Is it really ASCII, or whatever the system code page is ("ANSI")?

No idea - didn't look quite that far into the source (comutil.h in your VS distribution, if you want to look).
