I need to convert CString to BYTE array. I don't know why, but everything that I found in internet does not work :( For example, I have

CString str = _T("string");

I've been trying so 1)

BYTE *pbBuffer = (BYTE*)(LPCTSTR)str;

2)

BYTE *pbBuffer = new BYTE[str.GetLength()+1];
memcpy(pbBuffer, (VOID*)(LPCTSTR)StrRegID, str.GetLength());

3)

BYTE *pbBuffer = (BYTE*)str.GetString();

And always pbBuffer contains just first letter of str

DWORD dwBufferLen = strlen((char *)pbBuffer)+1;

is 2

But if I use const string:

BYTE *pbBuffer = (BYTE*)"string";

pbBuffer contains whole string

Where is my mistake?
