String conversion

is there a simpler way then this ->
static_cast<char*>(System::Runtime::InteropServices::Marshal::StringToHGloba
lAnsi(str).ToPointer());



to convert a System::String to a char*.

also , any simple way to convert System::String to Std::String?



thanks.

Not familiar with C++ syntax, I am assuming char* is a character array. If
so, you can do one of the following:

characterArray = someString.ToCharArray()
or
Convert.ToBase64CharArray(someString)

Apologies for being dense on C++, but this should at least give a pointer.
