How can I convert a String to a WCHAR array? Here is basically the code I'm
trying to execute (in C++) but the casting from Char* -> WCHAR* does not work:

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include <windows.h>
#using <mscorlib.dll>
using namespace System;

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

   String *s = S"this is a string";
   Char cArr[] = s->ToCharArray(0,s->Length);
   WCHAR *wcArr = (WCHAR*)&cArr;

   return 0;
}
