This section also contains both implicit and explicit conversions to C style
strings. Although implicit conversion is quite convenient, it is advised to use
explicit \helpref{c\_str()}{wxstringcstr} method for the sake of clarity. Also

+\membersection{Conversion to numbers}
+
+The string provides functions for conversion to signed and unsigned integer and
+floating point numbers. All three functions take a pointer to the variable to
+put the numeric value in and return TRUE if the {\bf entire} string could be
+converted to a number.
