string type to char type in Windows Form application

I am writing sth about data in string type in console mode.

now, I transform it to Windows Form Application, i know managed type should be used here instead of the unmanaged type. should I change the unmanaged type of string to char* for better data manipulation??

If you have a managed applicatrion, then I would stick with managed code and not use pointers like char*.

That is, unless there is some hard-code reason you can't use managed code.
