W1057 Implicit string cast from '%s' to '%s' (Delphi)
From RAD Studio XE2
Go Up to Error and Warning Messages (Delphi) Index
Emitted when the compiler detects a case where it must implicitly convert an AnsiString (or AnsiChar) to some form of Unicode (a UnicodeString or a WideString). This warning is on by default.
To avoid this warning, you need to explicitly typecast your AnsiString to the new string type (UnicodeString), as follows:
<your_target_string> := string(<your_ansi_source);
The warning is also given for assigning UTF8String value to a UnicodeString or WideString. location, in which case you can use an explicit cast to UTF8String.
