Hi
How to cast a LPCTSTR to std::string?
In this case it's not a "cast". It's an "assignment" or "copying"...

Do I just
m_fileName = lpszPathName;
This is the way to do it (it's called assignment)

or
strcpy (m_fileName, lpszPathName);
If you try this one it would give a compiler error, because you can't "cast"
an std:string to char* (only const char*)

or
there is something more useful?
What do you mean by useful? Easier? Faster? Funnier :)
