c# function byte* return type

5
Hi,
I have a question about a function which returns byte*. I want to know if it works ok because my feeling says not but VS 2008 says it is ok.

public byte[] Buff = new byte[1];

public override unsafe byte* AsValuePointer
{
get {
Buff[0] = 1;
fixed (byte* p = Buff)
return p;
}
set
{
}
}

public unsafe bool TestBufOn()
{
if (*AsValuePointer == 1) return true;
return false;
}

This is an example with no meaning but is this valid? Compiler is not complaining and program runs.

Many thanks for helping
Peter
