no suitable user-defined conversion from utility::string_t to std::string

Question

I am using the casablanca C++ Rest library to make HTTP requests.

The problem is that this gives a utility::string_t string as output and I can\'t quite find any way

Answer 1

On Windows Phone 8.1 there is this define:

typedef std::wstring     string_t;

I used this:

string_t toStringT = U("sample");
std::string fromStringT(toStringT.begin(), toStringT.end());

or:

std::string fromStringT(conversions::to_utf8string(toStringT));
