Simple Question - Passing Arrays to Functions

[Rich]

I need to pass an array from C# to a managed C++ function (that will
in turn call unmanaged C code). My knowledge of managed C++ syntax is
limited (obviously). This needs to be a reference parameter so the
function can change the contents of the array and give it back to the
caller.

How should I declare this array parameter in the managed C++ function?

By 'managed' do you mean C++/CLI?
If so, then the following example accepts an integer array by ref:
void Foo(array<int^% ThisArray)
{
}
But, unless you are changing the array reference, the following will do:
void Foo(array<int^T hisArray)
{
}
You do not have to pass by ref if just changing the contents of an array
since the array reference is not changing.
