Hi, guys! Sorry to bother you again.

I'm having trouble with the simplest of things: string variables and arrays. Any help will be appreciated.

1) Here's my code:

C++

// CASE_2.cpp
#include <stdafx.h>
#include <string>
#include "Form1.h"
using namespace CASE_2;
int main ()
{
   void save_arrays ();
   CASE_2::Application::EnableVisualStyles();
   CASE_2::Application::SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
   CASE_2::Application::Run(gcnew Form1());
return 0;
}
//
void save_arrays ()
{
   String^ m_path = "c\\wlo\\sipsi\\";
   String^ m_file = "muni_lara.arr";
   String^ m_filename  = m_path + m_file;   

   //2) Here's the source of error:
 
   String^ muni_lara[] = {"Andre", "Crespo", "Iribarren",
                       "Jimenez", "Moran", "Palaveccino", "Simon Planas",
                       "Torres", "Urdaneta"};
}
return;

3) Here's the error:

error C2728: 'System::String ^' : a native array cannot contain this managed type.

Solution 1

You need to create C++/CLI (managed) array, for example:

C++

array<string^>^ muniLara = gcnew array<string^>(9) {
	"Andre", "Crespo", "Iribarren",
        "Jimenez", "Moran", "Palaveccino", "Simon Planas",
        "Torres", "Urdaneta"};

THANK YOU. I have no formal training on C++ and this is a whole new world for me. Still learning. I don't post questions before researching the topic, but I have no one near to ask. Thanks again.

You are very welcome.

(But who has the "formal training"? We need education, not training. We all can "train" ourselves, you too. Keep learning...)

Good luck, call again.
