[Vinoth Kumar]

Hi

I am writing a wrapper class for a unmanaged c++ class, which has the method
signature,

Method(wchar_t** ppszValue)

Anyone please tell me, how to convert the string _gc* _gc* to wchat_t**

Thanks in advance

Hello Vinoth,

Assuming you want to get an unmanaged string from a String* (managed), I
think one of these methods from ( System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal
) might help you:

public static IntPtr StringToBSTR(string s);
public static IntPtr StringToCoTaskMemAnsi(string s);
public static IntPtr StringToCoTaskMemAuto(string s);
public static IntPtr StringToCoTaskMemUni(string s);
public static IntPtr StringToHGlobalAnsi(string s);
public static IntPtr StringToHGlobalAuto(string s);
public static IntPtr StringToHGlobalUni(string s);

Hope this helps,
RBischoff
