__gc array from string constant?

I'm using a managed C++ class that wants an
unsigned char __gc[] as input. Is there a
way to easily populate that array from a
string constant (or wide string constant, etc.)?

I'd like to do something like:

unsigned char foo __gc[] = "your ad here";

but of course that doesn't work.

Any suggestions welcome.

Two method, depends on what is the "char" you want. Note, the character
in DotNet is 16 bits.

char str __gc[] = System::Text::E ncoding::ASCII->GetBytes(S"Hel lo
World"); //return 8 bits bytes

unsigned short wstr __gc[] = (S"Hello World")->ToCharArray( ); //return
16 bits characters

Hello all, I have a question about unserializing a single array element from a serialized array. Can this be done, or must I first unserialize the array, and then access the element? For example, given: $data = serialize(array('4.50','0.00','0.00'));

Hello, I am calling a Filestream::Read() (i.e. fs->Read(arg1, arg2, arg3)). The problem is I have a pointer to an unsigned char block of memory and would like to fill it with the call to 'Read'. However the FileStream::Read function only takes a Byte __gc argument. I tried the following Byte __gc *bytePtr = bufferPtr;

Hi All, I am fairly new to Managed C++ extensions. I started trying to implement a interface defined in a C# project, in C++. The problem was with passing value arrays from c# to c++. I found examples on the web which worked, but found mine didn't. After narrowing down the interface I found what I believe to be the problem. The order of the parameters! The code below shows the function that does not compile named QueryPositionsForward....

While it does look like 2005 does use a better syntax in general for garbage collection than 2003, here is something I think went the other way. arrays. Do people really think that: array<MyClass ^> ^ MyArray = gcnew array<MyClass ^>(100); is a better syntax than: MyClass* MyArray __gc = new MyClass* __gc ;

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
