There is no implicit conversion to bstr. However you can easily add it by registering operator behaviour for the bstr type that take int and bstr (and float, etc).

Here''s a sample function for formatting an int to a bstr:

asBSTR bstrFormatInt(int number){	acCString str;	str.Format("%d", number);	// We must allocate a new bstr that the script engine will free afterwards	asBSTR bstr = asBStrAlloc(str.GetLength());	memcpy(bstr, str, str.GetLength());	return bstr;}

It is a useful feature you ask for, but AngelScript will not come with it built-in. Instead I will release some code with functions for registering useful functions and operators for the bstr type. Version 1.8.0 will even remove the built-in bstr type, so that each application can register their own string type (or use the code I''ll release on the side to register the same bstr type).
