I would like to know how many bytes in that byte array

You don't have a BYTE array, you have a pointer to BYTE.

Without other information you can't.

pbBinary is just a pointer.. it does not store the information about
number of bytes/elements it points to
if you care about the size of an "array", use std::vector<ins tead.

The whole code is like this - the purpose is to convert binary file

int size = sizeof(pbBinary );
unsigned long ulEncLen = 0;
char *pEncOut = NULL;
BOOL fRet = ::CryptBinaryTo String( pbBinary, size,
CRYPT_STRING_BA SE64, pEncOut, &ulEncLen );

bytes.size () gives you the size of the vector.

You cannot get the size of an array, by doing sizeof on a pointer to
an external array. Only if the pointer is in fact declared as a
statically dimensioned array (eg. BYTE pbBinary[10]) you can get the
size of the array by doing sizeof(pbBinary ). In your case you are in
the same scope, but still pbBinary is considered as a pointer to a
dynamically allocated or external array. Note that sizeof is
calculated compile time, and when you declare a pointer to an array,
the compiler CANNOT know what the size of the array will be to what
the pointer will point at runtime.

Well, *pbBinary is a BYTE, so you get the size of a BYTE.
but if I do - sizeof( pbBinary); - then I got 4
pbBinary is a pointer to const BYTE, so you get the size of a pointer to
const BYTE.
I am sure the array has hundreds of bytes

You can't, unless the array contains some end marker that you can use to find
out.

I know what you mean, but you really should say that you can't
get the size of an array given a pointer to its first element.
(Pointers to arrays, i.e. BYTE (*p)[ 200 ], exist, and in such
cases, sizeof( *p ) would be useful. But they aren't very
idiomatic.)
Only if the pointer is in fact declared as a statically
dimensioned array (eg. BYTE pbBinary[10]) you can get the size
of the array by doing sizeof(pbBinary ).
If something is declared as an array, it's not a pointer.

Ask whoever created the array to tell you. Once the array has
been converted to a pointer to the first element, all
information concerning the size has been lost.
A better solution might be to use std::vector.

The previous posters have explained the problem. A possible fix to
your program:
Instead of:
int size = sizeof(pbBinary );
Try:
