TCHAR is a macro defined as a char or wchar depending on what you have your character set defined to. The default after 2008 is have the character set to unicode. this code works if you change your character set.

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    TCHAR* bob ="hi";
    string s = bob;

Right click on the project settings and chage the folowing

if You want to use TCHAR as a Unicode character set use wstring
