Cheap and dangerous way:<br />
(Only dangerous if localization is an issue)<br />
char buffer[max_buffer_size];<br />
sprintf( buffer, &quot;%S&quot;, bstr ); &nbsp;// Note that it's %'capital S'<br />

Or you could use the MultiByteToWideChar function.<br />

Problem with BSTR in VC++/DCOM.

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
