How do you Marshal a structure that contains an array of characters

I am trying to get the size of a structure that has an array of
characters using the Marshal::SizeOf( ) method. The Marshal::SizeOf
method fails because it says no meaningful size can be computer.

Is it possible to Marshal a structure that as an array of objects?

Here is my structure:

[System::Runtime::InteropServices::StructLayout(Sys tem::Runtime::InteropServices::LayoutKind::Sequent ial,
Pack=1, CharSet = CharSet::Ansi)]
public ref struct CONFIG_File_s2
{
System::UInt32 CONFIG_Version; // CONFIG version number
System::Byte AMType; // Application Module Type
[System::Runtime::InteropServices::MarshalAs(System ::Runtime::InteropServices::UnmanagedType::ByValTS tr,
SizeConst =10 )]
array<System::Char>^ name;

CONFIG_File_s2()
{
name = gcnew array<System::Char>(10);
}
};
