I think it is only possible to use value types like this. Object references cannot be used. -----Original Message----- From: David Ferguson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, June 01, 2002 8:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [DOTNET] byte[] to Object Wouldn't this confuse the GC. It seems like the GC wouldn't 'know' what type the memory is. What if aMsg had a finalizer. Would the GC call it? Are there some documented rules on how this situation should be handled? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Gunnerson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 12:19 PM Subject: Re: [DOTNET] byte[] to Object Try byte[] received; aMsg m; fixed (byte* pBuffer = received) { m = *((aMsg*) pBuffer); } -----Original Message----- From: Miguel Ángel Chacón [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 5:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [DOTNET] byte[] to Object Thanks, but maybe I don't explain it very well. I need to read the values written by another app, that is Unmanaged(C++,VB), in a socket. I can't alter the way the data is written, because is another app, but I know the structure of the data, just like: (C++) (C#) struct aMsg struct aMsg { { DWORD a; int a; DWORD b; int b; DWORD c; int c; } } Then, the C++ structure is written in the socket, and then I receive the byte[] in C#. I want to do something like (so simple): byte[] received; aMsg myMsg=(aMsg)received; Is this possible? -----Mensaje original----- De: dotnet discussion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] En nombre de Graeme Humphrey Enviado el: miércoles, 29 de mayo de 2002 13:18 Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: Re: [DOTNET] byte[] to Object You might want to examine the section on Serialisation in MSDN. ms-help://MS.VSCC/MS.MSDNVS/cpguide/html/cpconbinaryserialization.htm Hope this helps, Graeme > -----Original Message----- > From: dotnet discussion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of > Miguel Ángel Chacón > Sent: 29 May 2002 10:48 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [DOTNET] byte[] to Object > > > I need to convert a byte[] received from a low-level socket connection > to an object, and then cast to a user-type object.
