What do you mean by convert, convert to what? TCHAR is a single character, do you actually mean an array of TCHARs? Please try a better explanation of your problem.

tchar* to string^ to be specific.
Lets say TCHAR* name = L"Hello";
So for my CLR implementaion I need it to convert it to String^. I have found a solution to convert from string to String^. If any body can provide me the solution to convert from TCHAR* to std::string atleast?

TCHAR can be char or wchar_t depends on your project character settings.
if it is unicode char seettings it will be wchar_t else it will be char.

you can hold TCHAR* in a CString.

TCHAR* pstrName = _T("MY Name");
CString str = pstrName;

if you are using stl then try following code.

<br />
TCHAR* pstName = _T("My Name");<br />
//std::string is a type of basic_string<br />
std::basic_string<TCHAR> strName = pstName;<br />
