Re: Converting String* to char*

C Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
string s;
a_function_that_takes_a_cstring(s.c_str());
string s;
a_function_that_takes_a_cstring(s.c_str());

Re: Converting String* to char*

Here's the answer:

String *str1;
char* chars;

str1 = textBox1->Text;

// convert from managed String to char *
chars = (char*)(Marshal:

tringToHGlobalAnsi(str1)).ToPointer();
