How do I construct a std::string from a DWORD?

Question

I have following code:

Tools::Logger.Log(string(GetLastError()), Error);

GetLastError() returns a DWORD a numeric

Answer 1

You want to convert the number to a string:

std::ostringstream os;
os << GetLastError();
Log(os.str(), Error);

Or boost::lexical_cast:

Log(boost::lexical_cast(GetLastError()), Error);
