I like boost but as an exercise I'm trying to do this using ATL/WTL/Win32 as much as possible (for example, I also choose MSXML through COM over using XercesC, although I have plenty of experience with Xerces and none with msxml). I'm just saying that for this project I'm trying to go all the way Microsoft so that I can decide later on whether I liked it or not. It has advantages of course - documentation is all in the same place, it's all installed when you install Visual Studio, ... Anway, that was just some background info :)
cheers,

Hi
It's a shame you had not used MFC's CString - it has a (const char *)
extraction operator to get out a char * even under Unicode conditions (and an (LPCTSTR) extraction operator for getting proper Unicode characters, as you would use in most other places).
Not really as then the MFC runtime libraries would have to be dragged into the ATL application. Jason, you know what I think of the MFC. ;-)
In fact I'm not even keen on ATL's CString. OP, why aren't you using std::string?
