AFAIK, SetFileName has (const char *) as argument, which /may/ not be 
the same as LPCTSTR. LPCTSTR is defined as const TCHAR pointer, where 
TCHAR may be either char or WCHAR, depending on some compiler setting.

If you really need the cast (LPCTSTR)?  Or would it also compile without 
the cast?  As follows:

  reader->SetFileName(csFileName);

If it doesn't compile, can you do it in two steps?

  const char * const pointerToChar = csFileName;  // 1.
  reader->SetFileName(pointerToChar);  // 2.

BTW, does (or will) ITK support Unicode filenames?


Kind regards,
