Do you really need to use a std:wstring for your strings?

[DonnyVelazquez]

I'v been trying to create a wrapper for the API in .Net and I ran across a memory management error with the wstrings. It seems that .Net can't marshal them.

Can you change the API to use something more friendly to .Net or provide some type of C++/CLR bridge?

Here is the same question on stackoverflow with code.

For portability reasons we need to use wstrings. You may want to look at the following on marshaling wstrings:

I'm not a C++ programmer I work with .Net, so how exactly would I implement this?
