[Boost-users] lexical_cast<unsigned char>: Compiler error

Hello, I have a question. I need a lexical_cast for a BYTE. Now I get allways a compile error with VS2005 and VS2008: e.g. unsigned char test = 2; test = boost::lexical_cast<unsigned char>(L"2"); Error 2 error C2679: binary '>>' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'unsigned char' (or there is no acceptable conversion) D:\boost\boost_1_38_0\boost\lexical_cast.hpp 771 What I do wrong? How I can solve this problem? Regards Hansjörg
