I am not very sure about this but I think there is Copy function in TDesC or TDes which takes a TDes8 as parameter. That should do it.

how to convert TBuf8 to TDesC
There is an artical on new LC on the numerious ways to convert 8 to 16 bit descriptors.  Goes something like this:

TBuf8<10> buf8 = ...;

TBuf<10> buf16;
buf16.Copy(buf8);

Thats one way - only if you know at build time the lengh of the string.  The other way being to use a HBufC:


TBuf8<10> buf8 = ...;

HBufC* buf16 = HBufC::NewLC(buf8.Length());
buf16->Des().Copy(buf8);
CleanupStack::PopAndDestory(buf16);
