Answer 1

#include <atlstr.h>


string internetprotocol="127.4.5.6";
TCHAR szProxyAddr[16]; 

_tcscpy_s(szProxyAddr, CA2T(internetprotocol.c_str()));

_tcscpy_s is generic strcpy version which works both in Unicode and Multi-Character configurations. CA2T converts const char* to TCHAR*, according to szProxyAddr variable type.

Be careful with destination variable length.

You may try like this:

#include <atlstr.h>
_tcscpy_s(szProxyAddr, CA2T(internetprotocol.c_str()));
