Question about Marshal

Question

How to convert data type of chat* to data type of IntPtr(or string)? Thanks!

The easiest way is just to use char* as well in your C# code. But I don't know if they are identical in both platforms :S Just keep in mind that in C/C++ char* pointers always point to a string. In this case the first element of the string. So // char c = *(myCharpointer+1);// will point to the next character in the string. But you could also marshal as a LPStr. [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] string myString I hope this helps :)
