C++ Strings

I hate them so much. ".ToString()" was nice and simple in C#. C++ makes everything hard and gives me errors.

Code:

ofstream file;
             file.open ("output.txt");
             file << Output->Text;
             file.close();

Here I am trying to save everything from a textbox (Output) to a *.txt file, but I get an error about converting between types. How do I make this work?
