Hi,

I would appreciate if someone could provide pointers / example on passing char* value from a unmanaged C++ code to a managed string object .

I am able to pass a string object to char* from managed to unmanged using MarshallToHGlobalANSI but I am looking for the reverse.

Thanks,

Ludmila

The String class has a constructor that takes a char * parameter:

char *foo = "Hello";

Console::WriteLine(gcnew String(foo));

To be obnoxiously pedantic:

const char* foo = "Hello";

is a better choice.  It prevents any writes to foo, which would lead to a memory exception, within the enclosing function.  (The System::String constructor however won't write to foo because the argument isn't marked as an out parameter.)
