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
