Convert int to C++ string

[chrisdash]

The topic says it all, how do I convert an integer to a std::string?

I've read something about using a stringstream from chipperMDW, but that doesn't work. MS VC++ 6.0 doesn't like the stringstream:

main.cpp(34) : error C2079: 'conv' uses undefined class 'basic_stringstream<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >'

That is not true. VC 6 supports the Standard Template Library. You just need to work a little more and understanding how to use it.

in my NetMonitor.cpp file

#include <sstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

also in the same file

BOOL CAboutDlg::OnInitDialog() 
{
  CDialog::OnInitDialog();
  int n = 10;
  ostringstream os;
  os << n;
  string s = os.str();
  TRACE(&quot;String is %s\r\n&quot;, s.c_str());
  return TRUE;
}

The code above is tested in a VC6 MFC application running on Windows NT 4.

if you want to use the STL i recommend obtaining a book on the subject.

good luck

Oh, you have to include another header to use stringstreams, thats the problem. I thought it was in <string>.
By the way, I have more than one book on the STL, I was just too stupid and lazy to use them in this case.
