efficient data type to transfer data from managed to unmanaged

Hi,

I am trying to pass a string of values seperated by a : (ex:
ABC:12:R50:XY10) from a C# code to C code.

What is the best format that I could sent the data so that I could parse it
and retreive the data easily in the C code. Now, I am passing it as a String
from C# but really getting stuck parsing in from C.

Guess, a char* data type would be more easy to parse in C.

Comments & Advice Pls,
