Hi!

I am new to managed c++. I have a byte gc array and I want to pass it
to a function that takes a __gc* to unsigned char. How would I convert
my byte array to this?

Byte arBuf[] = __gc new Byte[nSize];

// I have code here to read from a file to this buffer.
// Now I need to pass this to a function which is defined as follows:

void Write(unsigned char __gc*);

How can I convert my byte array to unsigned char __gc*?

Thanks,
D

Take the address of the first array element. For example:

void F(unsigned char __gc* p) {}

Byte arr[] = new Byte[10];
F(&arr[0]);

Cheerio!
