Error reading characters of string

[Richard Andrew x64]

Are you perhaps using the Unicode character set but assigning an ascii string? Maybe it should be:

student.Name = L"";

The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I changed that to L"" but in vein. Does it have to do anything with project settings ?

I suspect there is something more going on than just the code you have posted. It sounds as if the CString object is not being instantiated. Maybe if you could post more, relevant code.

Header1.h
struct Account {
CString Name;
CString Address;
CString Phone;
};

Header2.h
class AccountDlg : public CDialog
{
////........
Account account;
////........
}

Header2.cpp

void AccountDlg::Load(int id)
{
CEdit* edit;
CComboBox *combobox;

account.Name= "asd";   ///  EXCEPTION here
account.Address= "asd";
account.Phone = "asd";

accountId = id;
accountSettings.AccountLoad(accountId,account);

//.............

}

That doesn't reveal anything more than the first post. I think you should post the actual code, not an obfuscated version of it. Show the "#includes" as well.

Here I am getting the said exception

What exception?

[Albert Holguin]

Have you tried explicitly calling the struct's constructors in the class constructor?

class AccountDlg: public CDialog
{
Account account;

public:
//try explicitly initializing the account structure
AccountDlg() : account() {}
}

[Django_Untaken]

Access violation reading location. Just before this exception, if I debug the application, I see that member variables of this object dont show and Error reading characters of string shows up instead, in the intellisense.

[Lost User]

That suggests that you have not initialised the object. Have you checked that the constructor is called and sets all the variables correctly?

It does not look like you are reading the string, you are actually assigning values. It seems the exception is from somewhere else.. Is this the complete code you are debugging ?? Could you please share the full code if possible ?
