How about an article for converting bstrs

[wil_cdr]

It'll be nice if someone can post an article regarding conversion of bstrs (basic strings) to various other formats, like CString, and vice versa.

Thanks!

I am thinking that is not neccessarly one article for this. Anyway here few hints about: CString s(OLE2T(bstrString)), ::SysAllocString( T2OLE("test") gives you a copy of BSTR. Where OLE2T and T2OLE could be found in ATL sources. Befroe using these macros you have to call USES_CONVERSION.

You may want to check out _bstr_t and CComBSTR also. The thing to watch out for is BSTR can contain nulls. It's not very likely but should be considered
