The biggest thing that stumbles me doing conversions is how CString converts the strings back and forth. So if you have something like:

CString cs = "String";

It will still compile OK, but cs won't be Unicode just because you recompile

When you write the following, pBuf is a unicode string. A memory dump shows it.

CString sc("abcd € fg");
wchar_t* pBuf = cs.GetBuffer();

(at least in my experience). I typically just do a search on all CStrings and fix them up with:

CString cs = _T("String");

But the cleanest way is to keep any visible text out of the sourcecode and do
cs.LoadString(IDS_XYZ);

BTW, doing a unicode conversion is a good chance to clean up the house.
