LPTSTR in vc.net

[--== Alain ==--]

Hi,

How can i use LPTSTR in VC++.NET application ?
the same question for HINSTANCE, and HANDLE types.

Should i use a MarshalAs and to which type ?
thanks,

Al.

Just use it (them). There is nothing stopping you.

What on earth for? VC++.NET can handle native types just fine.

But it's not so easy as 1,2,3.

i tried to use
LPTSTR szTest = "Hi my namse is...";
String^ strMine="";
strMine = String::Format("{0}",(LPTSTR));

but it does not convert it :-(

Marshal.PtrToStringAnsi/Uni/Auto will convert your native string

That's a completely different question: How do I convert from LPTSTR to a
..NET String?

SvenC has anwered this.
