Hint: You normally don't use fixed-length arrays in D - unless 
there is a model world restriction, such as in

class Car{
     Tire[4] tires;
     ...
}

So if you really want to have UTF16 conversion and back (which I 
guess you don't), your code would be:

wchar[] v = "Hello"w;
string s = toUTF8(v) ~ ", world!";
MessageBoxA(null, s.toStringz, "myapp", MB_OK);

What you probably want is

string v = "Hello";
string s = v ~ ", world!";
MessageBoxA(null, s.toStringz, "myapp", MB_OK);

Cheers,
