In C it was possible to cast a Uint to a Char[], however, I can't seem to get
it to compile in D. 

example: I have 

uint data1;
long data;
long lblonedata;
.
.
.
char[] dataone = cast(char[]) data1;
lblonedata = atoi(dataone);

I'm importing std.string, std.conv;

and get e2ir: cannot cast uint to char[]

I was using dmd 1.022 and switched to 2.x today with no help.
Does D use a different method? or I'm I missing something obvious?

Thanks Chris,

I remember trying std.conv.toString(), but I could have a hardware issue with
the Card. Will try it in the Morning.

Card? What type of system are you running on?

Windows NT.
I have a PCI Card that transmit's and receives data.

 No Secrecy, just didn't want to stray to far off topic.

It's a commercal-Industrial Arinc Transmitter Card for an Aerospace
application. 

The toString method was working, I found that the problem is with the card
itself,  structure alignment or lib error. I hate hardware interfacing :)

Looking at http://www.arinc.com/solutions/engineering.html it appears 
Arinc mostly works with the airline industry, defense etc.

There's also a small section labeled "Space and Satellite Engineering" 
on that page but it looks like just satellites, not space missions. 
(i.e. nothing manned, and nothing beyond Earth orbit)
