wsprintf deprecated?

[Ben Rush]

When I compile my solution I get the following output -

NET 2003\Vc7\atlmfc\include\atlwin.h(2027) : warning C4995:
'wsprintf': name was marked as #pragma deprecated
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET

If I'm not suppose to use wsprintf() then what am I suppose to use?
It's quite frustrating for me as I look on the docs for this function
and no mention of it being deprecated can be found. I get the same
thing for lstrcat, lstrlen, etc. I choose to not use strcpy(),
sprintf(), etc. because I'm not using CRT functions. I want to use the
Win32 equivalents.

I don't really know, but these look like the kind of messages that strsafe.h
reports. Do you either directly or indirectly #include it?

Use the String* family of functions. StringCchPrintf is probably a
replacement
for wsprintf. Security improvement measures.

BTW. it's all documented in the platform SDK docs.

Well, then MS needs to read their own docs because atlbase.h is one of
the sources of the problem.

Is there a way around this or do I have to just turn off the pragma
warnings manually?
