When converting a pchar to ansistring, <br>
<br>
p : pchar;<br>
a : ansistring;<br>
<br>
do the following do the same thing ?<br>
<br>
a := p;<br>
a := string(p);<br>
<br>
I can not find the latter in the Delphi help but is being used by Crystal
Reports, which is crashing when handling strings between the app and the dll.<br>
