What version of VStudio are you using?

Either way I would use CString instead of char *.

I am trying to do a simple operation, open a file and write to it. In my

view

class I added code which I copied from the MSDN site and modified it for

my

purposes but here's what it looks like.

char* pszFileName = "c:\\test\\myfile.txt";
CFile myFile;
CFileException fileException;

if ( !myFile.Open( pszFileName, CFile::modeCreate |
          CFile::modeReadWrite, &fileException ) )
{
    TRACE( "Can't open file %s, error = %u\n",
       pszFileName, fileException.m_cause );
}

when I try to build I get an error that Open cannot convert pszFileName

from

char* to LPCTSTR. When I cast pszFileName to LPCTSTR it builds

successfully

but the file ends up being created in

C:\Documents and Settings\<myuser>\My Documents\Visual Studio
2005\Projects\<my project> instead of in C:\test\. Further, the file has a
weird name that looks like chinese or japanese and it's not even in text
format. Does anyone know what it happening. I am using VS 2005.
