¿Qué, Por qué y Cómo?

In Windows Store applications, for example when you want to make a shared library, it is necessary to make use of common types like Platform::String. All the public types must be types from Windows Runtime to make it possible a cross language usage of your libraries (C++, JavaScript, C#, VB). But when you want to use the C++ standard types like wchar_t or std::wstring, you're going to need a temporary conversion from Windows Runtime types to C++ Standard types. You can access the string value of a Platform::String^ object by using the Data() method like this: Platform:: String ^ ps3DModel( L"Gear" ); std:: wstring _3DModel = ps3DModel->Data(); Now, you can use the _3DModel std::wstring like another C++ standard string by using his own methods. Also, you could have converted to a "const wchar_t type": const wchar_t * _3DModel = ps3DModel->Data(); The problem is when you want to make any changes into the ps3DModel Platform::String objec...
