Hi Mihai!

__stprintf(msg, _T("My name is: %s "), (LPCTSTR) my_name);

But he is not right in double-underscore in __stprintf :-)
Correct that, and you have a running thing.


Upps... it was a copy-and-past error...

But to be even better, he should use "_sntprintf" instead of "_stprintf"!

<code>
ifdef _UNICODE
#define tstring std::wstring
#else
#define tstring std::string
#endif

TCHAR msg[120];
tstring my_name = _T("John");
_sntprintf(msg, 120, _T("My name is: %s "), (LPCTSTR) my_name);
MessageBox(NULL, msg, NULL, MB_OK);
</code>
