AFAIK both have methods that return a zero terminated string.
CString s;
(LPCTSTR) s <--- zero terminated string
std::string s;
s.c_str() <-- zero terminated string

Well, there isn't a "String". There's a "string". If "String" is something
you invented, then you'll have to check the MFC documentation and figure it
out. If you're talking about "string" from the C++ standard library, then
you'll have to compare the available methods for string and CString and see
how they convert.

Just to straighen things out - this is not a method but rather an
implemented conversion operation.
std::string s;
s.c_str() <-- zero terminated string

To get a CString (which is OT here!) into a standard string you can do the
following

string MyStr( (const char*)MyCStringObject );
