C++ CLI System.String^ to MFC LPCTSTR

Question

How would I convert a System (.net) C++\\CLI String^ into a MFC C++ LPCTSTR string.

It is very easy to get a LPCTSTR

Answer 1

You might want to try Marshal::StringToHGlobalUni, Marshal::StringToHGlobalAuto or Marshal::StringToHGlobalAnsi.

Remember the allocated unmanaged strings will need to be freed with Marshal::FreeHGlobal.
