The charset is Unicode. I want to write a string of CString type into a file, and then read it out from the file afterwards. I write the string into a file with CFile::Write() method:

int nLen = strSample.GetLength()*sizeof(TCHAR);
file.Write(strSample.GetBuffer(), nLen);

Here is the question: I want to obtain the CString from the file containing the content of strSample. How can I do it?

Thank you very much!

UINT nBytes = (UINT)file.GetLength();
int nChars = nBytes / sizeof(TCHAR);
nBytes = file.Read(strSample.GetBuffer(nChars), nBytes);
strSample.ReleaseBuffer(nChars);
