Is there a better way to copy unmanaged array to managed array?

[Ken Varn]

I would like to pass an unmanaged character array to a managed function that
expects a managed array. Is there a simple way that I can do this or do I
have to create a managed array and copy each byte from the unmanaged array
to the managed array?

I guess I could create a function that accepts a unmanaged array and returns
a managed array, but I wanted to see if such an animal already exists in
managed C++.

You could try System::Convert::ToString (It might work)

There is. The Copy() method of the System::Runtime::InteropServices::Marshal
class. It can also copy the other way around, if needed.
