I don't know if theres anyone on HAN that knows much C++ or anything.

I'm working on a final project. My partner and I are making a calculator. I'm doing the dialog and hes doing most of the functions. The functions are using namespace STD while my dialog is using a namespace that Visual Studio made. I'm making my dialog with Windows Forms.
What I need to do is pass System::string to std::string and then std::string to system::string. Is this possible? Can anyone shed some light on this or toss out some code snippets?

 

I read somewhere that if I use this:
it should work. However my string is in the private section of a class. Normally I would just go c.get_ans() and it would return the string.
I tried but it still says "error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'const char *' to 'System::String ^'"



Edit: Nobody knows C++? Damn...

 

I remember when I wanted to learn C before 8th grade... I said fuck it one day in h:

 

SHIT...i made a calc in C++ lemme see if i can find the program.

 

I tried making it with Windows Application but it was fucked up and screwy.
I'm going to have to see if my prof can shed some light.

 

c_str() returns a pointer to a constant. you are trying to initialize a non-constant variable to a constant. try setting the return value equal to a const variable to be used as a buffer possibly.

 

have you tried google?

I've looked at those Mayonaise. Thanks though.
Can I have a const pointer, pointing to the string I need? Would that fly?
