LPCTSTR and HRESULT - .NET Framework

=?Utf-8?B?R2Vvcmdl?=

Hello everyone,
If I want to convert LPCTSTR and HRESULT to standard C/C++ data type (like
char*, int, long, etc.), I am wondering what standard data types should I
convert to be safe and do not lose and data precise?
thanks in advance,
George

George:

LPCTSTR is just a typedef for const TCHAR*.

HRESULT I'm not sure, but it can be converted to an SCODE, which is a
DWORD, which is unsigned int.

Thanks David,
I find in winnt.h, HRESULT is defined to long.

George
