C++/CLI Converting from System::String^ to std::string

Can someone please post a simple code that would convert,

System::String^

To,

C++ std::string

I.e., I just want to assign the value of,

String^ originalString;

To,

std::string newString;

    Sorry can't post code now; I don't have VS on this machine to check it compiles before posting.
