The fragment looks OK, so you're going to have to show more code than this. The error is elsewhere.

"It doesn't work" is probably the most useless problem report we get - and we get it a lot. It tells us nothing about what is happening, or when it happens.
So tell us what it is doing that you didn't expect, or not doing that you did.
Tell us what you did to get it to happen.
Tell us any error messages.

In addition to what Greg stated, also post the exact error you are seeing.

1 solution

C++
CString tt;
tt = GetName();

The declaration of GetName suggests that it is part of some class that you have created, which holds a string called m_Name. But you are trying to call it as a stand-alone function, not as a method of a class. You need an object of your class (fully constructed) before you can use its methods. So your code should most likely be something like:
C++
class MyClass
{
    CString m_name;
public:
    MyClass(CString name)
    {
        m_name = name;
    }
    CString GetName( void ) const {return m_Name;}
};

// then in your main or other function :

MyClass thing("Fred");
CString tt;
tt = thing.GetName();
