Besides all those Old-School C-Ways of converting,
there is the std::stringstream:

#include <strstream>
#include <iostream>

const double pi = 3.14; //Feel free to a digits at will
std::string piString;

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
  std::stringstream stream;
  stream << pi;
  //put any number of formatters here
  stream >> piString;

  std::cout << piString;

  return system("pause"); 
}

Also, boost::lexical_cast[^] comes to mind.

Why are you using an intermediary variable? Convert i directly into str.

Hi I am trying create a remote thread using ::CreateRemoteThread API. I am able to open the remote process (with PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS), and allocate the memory and write the function code successfully. But, when i try to create remote thread, the remote process is crashing. Pls give some points, where it may go wrong?

I have no experience with that API, but here is something they hid in the documentation:

Note that CreateRemoteThread may succeed even if lpStartAddress points to data, code, or is not accessible. If the start address is invalid when the thread runs, an exception occurs, and the thread terminates. Thread termination due to a invalid start address is handled as an error exit for the thread's process.

In other words they do no checking whatsoever on the start address parameter. When the remote thread starts the infrastructure will use a CALL instruction to call the supplied start address, and if you're lucky the processor will generate a page fault hardware exception straight away. The OS will turn that into an access violation exception since there's no suitable page mapping, it'll go looking for an exception handler, not find one, and call the process's unhandled exception filter. Typically that will kill the process.

If unlucky your address will point to some data and it'll run for a while before it encounters a bit pattern not matching a valid instruction, or the data being interpreted as code tries to touch invalid memory, or it trashes some other pointer in the real program code which causes a crash.

It's very difficult to examine a pointer to determine whether it really points to valid code, simply because the range of valid instructions is so vast. A human might be able to spot that the sequence of instructions doesn't make sense and deduce that it's really data, but building in a complete heuristic engine to work that out is not worthwhile.

Well if you don't apply the luck keyword properly what do you expect? Really I'm not sure what your point is. You expect to pass an invalid address as a function pointer and everything will work out just fine?

How? Where? You must provide details of the crash! We're no psychic!

Why 'CHotKeyCtrl' does not support ModWin key (it's one with Microsoft logo on it)???
What is the alternative?
Thanks!

i have made a small application which shows the files and folders in a particular designator. the files and folders are shown in a list box. and the designators are shown in a combo box.

i need to know how to copy a file from the list box to another location. if yes what needs to be done.

I'm not certain what "designator" mean, but you can always use ShFileOperation with the FO_COPY flag set in the structure to copy files around.

There's an article on ShFileOperation here on CP.

The file isn't "in" the listbox. Just the name is in the listbox. What are "designators". If you want quicker help, you're going to have to start using common references.

what i meant to say is the directories avialbale in the system are displayed in the combo box. (for ex C and D). now when i click on either one of them the folders and the files will appear on the directories. i need to know how to copy this files and folders to different loaction.

Qualify this a bit like, "a particular drive designator (e.g., C: )."

This is a bit ambiguous. Are you wanting to copy the file itself from one drive/folder to another, or are you wanting to copy an item from the listbox to some other control?

guess i have specifially mentioned about copying files and folders to another location or rather as per question to another drive.

So can't you just use CopyFile() or SHFileOperation()?

Do you want to drag/drop files or copy files to other location?

is it possible to do it both the ways?? drag and drop as well as copying it??

Yeah it possible for example to Explorer or other controls on your program like listbox.

now how do i do that??

planning to create another window explorer.

Alok give you a good link but if you are new to drag drop (I suggest before use for files see simple drags like drag a item of a list to other list) codeproject has articles about drag files.;)
