Working with AllocSysString

[Mr.M]

I'm getting "error C2039: 'AllocSysString' : is not a member of 'System::Char' error.

I'm trying to assign the result to a string variable.

 wchar_t str;
 return str.AllocSysString();

But I'm getting the above error.

AllocSysString() is not a method of wchar_t, but of BSTR IIRC.

[Mr.M]

So how should I solve this? sorry I'm new to C++.

Actually AllocSysString() returns a BSTR but it's a member of CString. Change the wchar_t to Cstring:

 Cstring str;
 return str.AllocSysString();
