You are asking about some very basic C/C++ programming. Usually covered in
chapter 1 or 2 of a C/C++ Programming book. So I would start by learning
the language.

unsigned short Short;
unsigned char Char;

Char = (unsigned char) Short; // NOTE: You are loosing a byte of data, so
only do this if using the
                                                // unsigned short was a
mistake in the first place.

CString to unsigned char -> really can't be done and doesn't make any sense.

What I think you want to do is look into UNICODE. I suspect that you don't
know anything about UNICODE or that Windows CE uses UNICODE. So you are
trying to use char, when you should be using TCHAR.
