convert System::String ^ to const BYTE

[lilrangerabn]

I'm performing a simple operation and my brain is not helping me out (overly fried).

I have:

String ^ myString = Console::ReadLine();

I need to convert myString to a const BYTE *lpdata.

Use Marshal StringToHGlobalAnsi or StringToHGlobalUni methods.

Use System::Convert::Tostring( );
