Convert LPSTR to BSTR using win32

I see how to do this using MFC, but what is the best way to convert a LPSTR to a BSTR in C++ using only the win32 libraries.

Don't know the concrete solution but I think this is gonna help you (especially part II):

Use SysAllocString.

Note that SysAllocString takes an OLECHAR* argument, which is effectively a WCHAR*, not a CHAR*. This shouldn't be a problem unless you're compiling without UNICODE defined--but don't do that.

#include <comutil.h>

LPSTR myLpstr = "Hello World!";
_bstr_t bstr = _bstr_T(myLpstr);

It also needs library comsupp.lib
