ne3jedi Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Ok so ive just been messing around and i would like to know how to get this to work. Or if it is possible. char cfile = textBox2->Text; CopyFile(cfile,"C:\\new.txt",0); Visual C++ Compiler error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'System::String ^' to 'char' error C2664: 'CopyFile' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char' to 'LPCTSTR' Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Corrupted Data Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 The first error is trying to put a string into a char. That should be obvious. Changing from char to string will work there. The second issue is again a type mismatch. have fun. http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=string+to+LPCTSTR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
