Convert String^ in c# to CString in c++/CLI

Question

I need a help on one question where I stuck while coding my app in MFC.

I am using CLR i.e Common Language Runtime in my application to integrate c# APIs. but now I stuck on converting System::String^ to CString. I am not able to do that.

I am using Following code.

String^ csPass = gcnew String(strPassword.GetBuffer());
array<Byte>^ Value = Encoding::UTF8->GetBytes(csPass);
for (int i = 0; i < Value->Length; i++ )
{
csPass += String::Format( "{0:X2}", Value[ i ] );
}

now I want to convert csPass to CString. Can any one help me on this. Thank you in advance.
