Yes, but... Why use a class then ?

class ConfigManager

this is not allowed in C++ (you are showing a C# solution)

You could also have GetConfigFile() set the file name if it hasn't been set

<br />
CString ConfigManager::GetConfigFile()<br />
{<br />
	static bool bInit = false;<br />
	if (!bInit)<br />
	{<br />
		ConfigManager::ConfigFile = DEFAULT_FILE;<br />
