cannot convert from 'byte[]' to 'byte*'

[efdeugenio]

Hi, I will really appreciate if someone cans help me with this:

I have a managed c++ class that I am calling from C#. The declaration of a function in this class is:
bool CanAddTemplate( unsigned char* template, HRESULT rc, bool bInteractive)

When calling this function from c# I have:

byte[] template = new Byte[1632];

bresult = CIdentification Set.CanAddTempl ate(template, rc, true);

When compiling I am getting the error:

Argument 1: cannot convert from 'byte[]' to 'byte*'

What is the right type of data in c#?

Thanks!

Well there's not really a direct transition from pointers (char*) to managed code I don't think.
But I would try a string. Although it says it's a byte, which is wierd.
Maybe there is something you can do with Marshalling

You can use pointers in C#. Just mark the block that uses them as unsafe and create the pointers.
