The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

VC++ mfc convert from 'LPTSTR' to 'const char *'

Asked by shaf81 in Microsoft Visual C++.Net, Video Editing, Audio Editing

Tags: VC++ mfc convert from 'LPTSTR' to 'const char *

I passed values for below function:-

HANDLE PortSIP_initialize(SIPCallbackEvent * callbackEvent,
                                      int maxLines,
                                      const char * userName,
                                      const char * authName,
                                      const char * password,
                                      const char * agent,
                                      const char * localIP,
                                      int localSIPPort,
                                      const char * userDomain,
                                      const char * proxyServer,
                                      int proxyServerPort,
                                      const char * outboundServer,
                                      int outboundServerPort,
                                      const char * STUNServer,
                                      int STUNServerPort);
Below is the passed values:-

m_siplib = PortSIP_initialize(m_sipevent, 8, (LPTSTR)(LPCTSTR)m_username,
            (LPTSTR)(LPCTSTR)m_username,
            (LPTSTR)(LPCTSTR)m_password,
            "PortSIP VoIP SDK 4.0",
            localIP, SIPPort,
            /*(LPTSTR)(LPCTSTR)m_UserDomain*/"",
            (LPTSTR)(LPCTSTR)m_sipserver,
            /*m_serverport*/"",
            /*(LPTSTR)(LPCTSTR)m_OutboundServer*/"",
            /*m_OutboundServerPort*/"",
            /*(LPTSTR)(LPCTSTR)m_StunServer*/"",/*m_STUNSERVERPORT*/
            m_stunserverport);

When I compiled then give below Error message in code.

error C2664: 'PortSIP_initialize' : cannot convert parameter 3 from 'LPTSTR' to 'const char *' and when I double clicked the error the error code pointer point to the last parameter.
When I hard code the parameter 3 with " "janith" " then give error message,

'PortSIP_initialize' : cannot convert parameter 4 from 'LPTSTR' to 'const char *'

Then also error pointer point to last variable.

I use "Visual Studio 2005" with Operating system "Windows XP" and use "MFC" with Vsual C++.

How can I find the cause ? and fix it ?
