CString bob = stl::string fred problem

I have a silly question.

How do I convert a STL string to a MFC CString in an elegant way?

using namespace std;
CString bob;
string fred;

bob = fred; // Deos not work, duh!

:confused:

I would imagine:

Code:

---

std::string x = "Hello";
CString y = x.c_str();

---

Z.

How come I can't get std::string get to work in
my MFC dialog based exe ?
If I use std::string in my class,
I get error :


'std' : is not a class or namespace name
'string' : undeclared identifier

using namespace does not help either .

What's up with me ?

Probably didnt include <string>.

Z.

Nope, not that, still does not work:eek: :eek:

Maybe you included <string> before "stdafx.h". The compiler ignores any code prior to this include if activated.
