Can someone please post a simple code that would convert,
System::String^ To,
C++ std::string
I.e., I just want to assign the value of,
String^ originalString; To,
std::string newString;

Differences between std::string and String Pavan. std::string is the string class from the standard C++ library. String is some other string class from some other library. It's hard to say from which library, because there are many different libraries that have their own class called String.
std::string class in C++ C++ has in its definition a way to represent a sequence of characters as an object of the class. This class is called std:: string. String class stores the characters as a sequence of bytes with the functionality of allowing access to the single-byte character.
The std::string class manages the underlying storage for you, storing your strings in a contiguous manner. You can get access to this underlying buffer using the c_str() member function, which will return a pointer to null-terminated char array. This allows std::string to interoperate with C-string APIs.
Don't roll your own, use these handy (and extensible) wrappers provided by Microsoft.
For example:
#include <msclr\marshal_cppstd.h> System::String^ managed = "test"; std::string unmanaged = msclr::interop::marshal_as<std::string>(managed); You can easily do this as follows
#include <msclr/marshal_cppstd.h> System::String^ xyz="Hi boys"; std::string converted_xyz=msclr::interop::marshal_as< std::string >( xyz); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
