Hi guys, I have this piece of code which reads a file and put all its content into a string. Is there a better way to do this or is the current code I have acceptable?

#ifndef CFILE_H
#define CFILE_H
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

class CFILE {
private: 

	std::ifstream _in; 
	//std::ofstream _out; 

	std::string _key; 
	std::string _data; 

	bool g_d(); 

public: 

	CFILE(std::string file_name, std::string key); 
	

};
#endif
CFILE::CFILE(std::string file_name, std::string key) {

	_key = key; 

	_in.open(file_name); 

	if (_in.is_open()) 
		g_d();
	 
}


// private functions 
bool CFILE::g_d() {
	std::string i; 

	while (getline(_in, i)){ _data += i; }
	
	return true; 
}
