[Thomas1965]

You can't use the macro _T with a String^. You need to convert it to to a LPCTSTR.

This should work:

System::Void button1_Click_1(System::Object^  sender, System::EventArgs^  e) 
{
  String ^ userName = textBox1->Text;
 
  std::wstring user = msclr::interop::marshal_as<std::wstring>(userName);
	
  if (!WritePrivateProfileString(_T("AGP.HumanController"), _T("sSavedUserName"), 
       user.c_str(), _T(".\\User.ini")))
  {
    String ^ errorMsg = String::Format("Error: {0}", GetLastError());
    MessageBox::Show(errorMsg);
  }
}

You need to include <msclr\marshal_cppstd.h>
