String is a managed class thus it must be declared as a pointer in C++.

String *pA;

pA = this->txt1->Text;

[NoHero]

Try this instead:


string a;
a = this->txt1->get_Text();

#2 i add the pointer but it says
error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'System::String __gc *' to 'std::string *'

#3 that the almost same error as before
error C2679: binary '=' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'System::String __gc *' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

GoobTheNoob has right.
The followwing should work.
----
String *pA;

pA = this->txt1->Text;

Be careful of the case of "String*" the S is as upperCase.

Replace:

#include <string>
using namespace std;


With:

using namespace System;

--------------------------------------------------------

String* is part of the "System" namespace. You do not need to call "std" or include <string>.
