How to convert CString in MFC to char[] (character array)

You use CString::GetBuffer() to get the TCHAR[] - the pointer to the buffer. If you compiled without UNICODE defined that's enough - TCHAR is same as char, otherwise you'll have to allocate a separate buffer and use WideCharToMultiByte() for conversion.
