title: C++ String Declaring
body: <p>I have been working with VB for a while now. Now I'm giving C++ a shot, i have came across strings, i cant seem to find a way to declare a string.</p>
  
  <p>For example in VB:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim Something As String = "Some text"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Or</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim Something As String = ListBox1.SelectedItem
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Whats the equivalent to the code above in C++ ?</p>
  
  <p>Any help is appreciated.</p>
