Hi,
personally I use CString.
but I thing using CHeapPtr<TCHAR> is more preferable. CHeapPtr class is more 
simple than CString and has less dependencies.
the code looks like
CHeapPtr<TCHAR> buf;
DWORD len = _MAX_PATH;
do { buf.Reallocate(len); ... } while ( ... )

  Subject: [wtl] extra long filenames and WTL




  with extra long filenames becoming a reality there needs to be some 
dusting off with WTL headers that specify MAX_PATH constant. Instead of 
fixed buffers we'd better off using CStrings everywhere. See here
