+1. But make it 'toCWString'. :o)
Or toWString (looks nicer to me).
A potential problem is that an immutable(wchar)[] is wstring.
Or toCStr and toWStr (to save 3 characters on each).
winnt.h defines many similar types:
typedef __nullterminated WCHAR *NWPSTR, *LPWSTR, *PWSTR;
typedef __nullterminated PWSTR *PZPWSTR;
typedef __nullterminated CONST PWSTR *PCZPWSTR;
typedef __nullterminated WCHAR UNALIGNED *LPUWSTR, *PUWSTR;
typedef __nullterminated CONST WCHAR *LPCWSTR, *PCWSTR;
typedef __nullterminated PCWSTR *PZPCWSTR;
typedef __nullterminated CONST WCHAR UNALIGNED *LPCUWSTR, *PCUWSTR;
so variations on any of those make sense.
.. I think the toStringz probably came from the winnt.h defines using z..
typedef __nullterminated CHAR *NPSTR, *LPSTR, *PSTR;
typedef __nullterminated PSTR *PZPSTR;
typedef __nullterminated CONST PSTR *PCZPSTR;
typedef __nullterminated CONST CHAR *LPCSTR, *PCSTR;
typedef __nullterminated PCSTR *PZPCSTR;
Stringz means "Z"ero-terminated "String". The usage predates Windows NT.
