Yes, boost::lexical_cast is nicer, it hides the stream usage.

Specific reference here: http://www.boost.org/libs/conversion/lexical_cast.htm

This is the code, FYI, using your example.

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>

int main()
{
    int k = 56;

    std::string blah(" ");

    blah += boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(k);

    std::cout << "\n\n" << blah << "\n\n";
}
