messagebox problem with visual c++ 2008 express edition

[gamer_man]

Hi there

I am new to C++, and I am using vc++ 2008 express edition. When I compile the code with DEV C++ it works fine but not with MS express edition.
It leaves me an error as

: error C2664: 'MessageBoxW' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'const char [28]' to 'LPCWSTR'
1> Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

{
MessageBox(0,"My message Box", "MB",MB_OK);
}

Can any one leave a reply asap.
And thanks in advance

Sounds like a problem with ANSI/UNICODE build.
Try

MessageBox(0, _T("My message Box"), _T("MB"), MB_OK);

_T as identifier not found.

What is _T here? can you please explain me a bit.

Thanks in aadvance.

The main process would be

2.In the Configuration dropdown, pick All Configurations.
3.Expand Configuration Properties.
4.Select General.
5.Change the Character Set to be Use Multi-Byte Character Set.

It is a copy from that page.

Good luck to you.
