C++ Noob Question

[ne3jedi]

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]

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.
