ANSI to Unicode

{
int len = 0;
len = str.length();
int unicodeLen = ::MultiByteToWideChar( CP_ACP,
0,
str.c_str(),
-1,
NULL,
0 );
wchar_t * pUnicode;
pUnicode = new wchar_t[unicodeLen+1];
memset(pUnicode,0,(unicodeLen+1)*sizeof(wchar_t));

0,
str.c_str(),
-1,
(LPWSTR)pUnicode,

wstring rt;
rt = ( wchar_t* )pUnicode;
delete pUnicode;
return rt;
}
Unicode to ANSI
string UnicodeToANSI( const wstring& str )
{
char* pElementText;
int iTextLen;
// wide char to multi char
iTextLen = WideCharToMultiByte( CP_ACP,
