<soapbox>The string_t type is just a thin char[] wrapper. A real C++ string is std::string and has copyable, constructable operator semantics and reference-counted garbage collection that prevent some of this confusion. Nothing good can come of assignment operators on char[] wrappers, unless it's a global/static on the right-hand side.</soapbox>

Look at m_szMaterialVarValue for an example of one method to deal with it: Q_strncpy( m_szMaterialVarValue.GetForModify(), temp, MATERIAL_MODIFY_STRING_SIZE ); http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Networking_Entities could probably use some info on this - feel free to add it.
