Is there anything like the token pasting operator (##) in C#?
I'm trying to port some unmanaged C++ code into C# and I'm not sure
how to mimic this behavior.

Hi,
In C++, this is a pre-processor operator, not a language operator. C#'s
pre-processor is quite minimalistic and, unfortunately, has no equivalent of
the ## operator. You can probably do the preprocessor's work yourself and
merge the tokens manually.

I'm not sure I'd say it's unfortunate - while I haven't used token
pasting, it certainly *sounds* like the kind of thing which would make
the code hard to read. I for one am glad that the "preprocessor" in C#
is so minimal.

Jon,
When I said "unfortunately", I meant "unfortunately for the original poster"
as Mr. Hsu would need to do the pasting manually if he is to port the code
to C#.

It does make the code extremely difficult to read. The original coder
must have been on crack...or a deadline. Anyways thanks for your
guys' help! Looks like I'll have to manually do this.

How can I paste tokens with a white space between them?
