Type cast to System::Object

[gavsta2k]

I am using vc++ 2005 express and mysql. i am reading items in from a db which returns type Char* and i need to add the items to a listbox, if i do :

listBox1->Items->Add(row);

i get error C2440: 'type cast' : cannot convert from 'char *' to 'System::Object ^'

what is the best way round this?

thanks

how about this:

listBox1->Items->Add(row[i].ToString());

Hi, no this did not work eiter, turns out the correct code is:
listBox1->Items->Add(gcnew String(row));
