error C2664: 'setStartupDirectory' : cannot convert parameter

Dec 5th, 2008

Hi

I have a virtual function setStartupDirectory()

virtual bool setStartupDirectory(const SysString &sStartupDirectory) = 0;

When I am calling this function
setStartupDirectory((const SysString &)m_pApplicationFolderNarrow);
I am getting this error
Error 2 error C2664: 'setStartupDirectory' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const SysString' to 'const SysString &'

Am I missing something
