I thought I would throw in my two cents worth.

Although the AnsiString does have an overloaded = operator that will 
convert an int to a string, in this case it does not apply.  The 
right hand side of the assignment needs to be resolved first.  This 
means that the int must support adding an int and a String (not 
possible) or the AnsiString must have an overloaded + operator that 
allows adding an int to a String.  AnsiString only overloads the + 
operator to support an AnsiString + AnsiString syntax or a char* + 
AnsiString syntax.  I'm with Lanny on this one.
