__gc array from string constant?

[Paul Steckler]

I'm using a managed C++ class that wants an
unsigned char __gc[] as input. Is there a
way to easily populate that array from a
string constant (or wide string constant, etc.)?

I'd like to do something like:

unsigned char foo __gc[] = "your ad here";

but of course that doesn't work.

Any suggestions welcome.

Two method, depends on what is the "char" you want. Note, the character
in DotNet is 16 bits.

char str __gc[] = System::Text::Encoding::ASCII->GetBytes(S"Hello
World"); //return 8 bits bytes

unsigned short wstr __gc[] = (S"Hello World")->ToCharArray(); //return
16 bits characters
