convert int to wstring

Question

I want to convert an integer value (int) to std::wstring. What is the best way to do this? I'm developing for windows phone so I would rather avoid using external libraries (such as boost::lexical_cast). I'm looking for something simple, preferably one line of code that just assigns the int to the wstring.

Any help would be appreciated.

Solution 1

Are you looking for std::to_wstring

std::wstring to_wstring( int value );   (since C++11)

Converts a signed decimal integer to a wide string with the same content as what std::swprintf(buf, sz, L"%d", value) would produce for sufficiently large buf.

Solution 2

    size_t myInteger = 10;
    std::wostringstream myStringStream;
    myStringStream<< L"myText" << myInteger;
    std::wstring concatenatedStr = myStringStream.str();

Conacatenating number to wstring.

In old C++ 98 Visual Studio 2010.

Exactly what I'm looking for. The answer couldn't be better. I didn't even know this was available. Nothing showed up when I googled my question.
