this will work. The cstring have the = operator overloaded for LPCSTR

char * str1="abc";
CString str2 = str1;

and about _UNICODE. now when i checked the CString have = operator overloaded for LPCWSTR.
so it will work even if _UNICODE is defined.

isn't this the same to the more readable :

CString::GetBuffer() does return a regular C-Style string, so you might be using it wrong...

VuNic's code does work good...

and
CString str2;
char str1[3]="abc";

ERROR1:left of '.GetBuffer' must have class/struct/union type

Remember to ReleaseBuffer() after getting the Buffer using GetBuffer()

char* str1 = “abc”;
CString str2 = str1;

What is the problem?

Well if you are not using ascii, then try

wchar_t* str1 = L”abc”
CString str2 = str1;

Or

TCHAR* str1 = _T(“abc”)
CString str2 = str1;

Otherwise, I have no idea what the problem is at the moment.
