For a lot of us devs who generated MFC projects years ago, (re)generating new MFC projects create a pch.h header instead of a stdafx.h file. pch.h files include windows header files, but operate differently. This topic should be introduced and I can think of no better way than to address head on how to make CString compile.
The Note I wrote needs to be formatted, for example, with green background.
By the way, I did submit feedback to the Developer Community about this, so maybe they will weigh in on the correct approach to all this. See Unable to compile with MFC CString using new pch.h.
