There are several options.

You may want to use the ATL helper conversion classes, like CA2W:

const char * ansiString ...

CA2W wideString( ansiString );

And use wideString wherever a const wchar_t * is required.

Or CStringW class has a constructor to do the conversion:

CStringW wideString( ansiString );

Note that you can use these ATL classes from both pure Win32 C++ projects
and MFC projects.

Alemelu:

In addition to Giovanni's answer, if you use wmain() or _tmain() instead of
main() then the arguments are already presented as wide strings.

You can use MultiByteToWideChar API.
