Arrays in structs

[cody]

IIRC you can simply use datatype string for that. Additionally you could use
the MarshalAs attribute but Iam not sure.

I need to set up an array in a struct for passing to a win32 api call . How
do I do this please?
("Name" is actually a zero terminated ascii string, so a pointer to a
better way to do this would also be appreciated)

eg
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]

public struct Details

{

public int UniqueID;

public byte[] Name[43]; << wrong here, also should be ascii chars

public eState Status;

}

thanks for answering so quickly cody but that was all gobbledegook at my
level (I just about understood the IIRC bit)
Can you give me a code snippet or link to example please

public struct Details
{
public int UniqueID;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst=43)]
public string Name;
public eState Status;
}
