unsafe code

Question

I want equivalent of the following structure using unsafe code. typedef strcut Avl { char c[max+1]; long j; long k; lpstr n; int a }; How should I write it so that I can declare pointer variables of the above structure

If the structure is managed it must be fixed struct Blah {....}; fixed (blah *pBlah = myBlah) { // use pBlah here... }

How should I write it so that I can declare pointer variables of the above structure I attempted to write a .Net struct equivalent of the posted C structure. No problem there. But when you try to declare a pointer to an instance of the structure even in an unsafe context VS will issue an error. I'm not sure how to write a managed structure then write a pointer to an instance of such.

firstly you could use a structure for the same in C#. secondly for unsafe code something like public unsafe struct Node { public int Value; public Node* Left; public Node* Right; } also you could precede your statement/method with 'unsafe' keyword. You could refer the .NET documentation which has good info( a tutorial) of using unsafe Irfan
