how to convert managed char array to unmanaged char*?

Hello ,

I meet some data convertion problem, the sample code as following,

namespace Configure
{
using namespace System ;

typedef struct _SW{
char szVersion[64] ;
} SW,*PSW ;

public __gc class Config{
public :
SW m_sw ;
public :
Config(char *szVersion)
{
Config __pin *This = this ;
strcpy(this->m_sw.szVersion ,szVersion) ;
} ;
}

Assume the calling code as following,

Config *pCfg1 = new Config("1.0.0.1 ") ;
char szVer[64]="Applicatio n ver." ;
szVer=strcat(sz Ver,pCfg1->m_sw.szVersion ) ;

-->Here still get an error : can't conver char[64] to const char *

My question is how to convert managed char array to unmanaged char*?
Does anyone can help me to resolved this problem? Thank you very much.

Although you get a pinned pointer to "this" in the constructor, you use the
unpinned version in your call to strcpy. Try to use the pinned version
"This" instead!

Because i wanted to use automatic memory management offered by .Net framework, i used the managaed classes available. e.g. i have used...

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,...
