Answer 1

See the wcstombs functionality on MSDN.

Answer 2

Since the question is about MFC, I would suggest the following:

 CStringA a = "Test"; CStringW w = L"Test"; a = CStringA(w); w = CStringW(a); 

I usually need the following conversions:

 CString t = _T("Test"); // depends on TCHAR type a = CStringA(t); // does not depend on TCHAR type w = CStringW(t); 

CStringW and CStringA have the LPCWSTR and LPCSTR statements.
