C++/CLI String Conversions

Question

I found this really nice piece of code that converts a string to a System:String^ as in:

System::String^ rtn = gcnew String(move.c_str());  // \         


        

Answer 1

this could be useful:

wchar_t *str = "Hi StackOverflow"; //native
String^ mstr= Marshal::PtrToStringAnsi((IntPtr)str); // native to safe managed
wchar_t* A=( wchar_t* )Marshal::StringToHGlobalAnsi(mstr).ToPointer(); // return back to native 

don't forget using namespace System::Runtime::InteropServices;
