I'm waiting for his response which marshal.c code of these two does he prefer. + +------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-07-15 17:14 ------- +A test is as easy as calling the constructor with a pointer. I'll +provide a test but because it uses Encoding.Default (that is CP_ACP +or GetACP() on Windows) both the actual and the expected result +depend on the selected ANSI code page. + +string s = "something\0"; +byte[] b = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(s); + +fixed (byte* p = b) { + Console.WriteLine(new string((sbyte*)p)); + Console.WriteLine(new string((sbyte*)p, 0, b.Length)); +} + +Note that you should use some string that is specific to the ANSI +encoding instead of "something" to verify that these constructors +use ANSI code page. NULL termination is required by the first +constructor. + +The above referenced MSDN documentation verifies this behavior as +well.
