How to convert .Net strings to ANSI strings in managed C++?

I forgot to give the code used in the precedent webservice sample (Calling a secured webservice in Sophis Risque). These lines make the conversion and release the memory:

1.#pragma once
2.  
3.  
4.#define STRING_TO_CHAR(myString) (char*)(void*)(System::IntPtr)System::Runtime::InteropServices::Marshal::StringToHGlobalAnsi( ##myString ); 
5.#define RELEASE_CHAR(myString) System::Runtime::InteropServices::Marshal::FreeHGlobal( (System::IntPtr)(void*)##myString );  

 

To put somewhere in a .h file (like DotnetMacros.h).

To use the code, a little sample:

1.char* szUsi = STRING_TO_CHAR(_usi);
2.strncpy_s(usi,length,szUsi,length-1);
3.RELEASE_CHAR(szUsi);
