LPSTR (Char*) in .NET

Question

How do you declare a char* in .NET?

Answer 1

What exactly are you trying to do?

I didn't see your comment. I guess we posted at the same time. String, being a reference type, will be stored in the heap (the value). While the location where the string value is should be on stack. Although I am not too sure since string does not behave as a 100% reference type.

You can create pointers in .NET through unsafe code. Although one should do that with utmost care or else can end up with weird and unexpected errors.

Answer 2

You don't. That's what System.String is for. If you need to interop with native DLL's, see this.
