convert System String to char

3 New Member
Hi, I am writting a program in visual c++ expres that takes user input and sends it to files, I am using a text box to get the input.
The problem is, that I cannot use a "system string" when writting to the file:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. string ^textboxinput = textBox1->Text;
  2. ofstream File;
  3. File.open("newfile", ios::app | ios::out);
  4. File << "contents" << textboxinput << endl;
  5. File.close();
  6.  
An error occurs and says I can't use a system string when writting to files(textboxin put);
I need to know how to convert the system string to a string or char[] .

-Thanks

Use the string method c_str() to return a char * value from a string.

Hi there! I've been having a lot of difficult trying to figure out a way to convert a terminated char array to a system::string for use in Visual C++ .NET 2003. This is necessary because I have some legcay C code that needs to process a string taken from a textbox, then I need to re-display the string as the textbox->Text. I easily found how to convert from system::string to char but I can't figure out how to go the other way!!

I am surprised that a single character string is not auto-created from a single char. It is hard to find information on converting a char into a string, since most people ask how to convert char to string. I have a function that accepts a string, and I wish to access this function for each character in the string, individually. The only solution I have found is: char c = 'A'; string s = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(c);

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
