How do I pass a char and a char* from C# to C++/CLI?

The title contains all. How do I pass a char and char* from C# to C++/CLI. Here is my cpp function declaration:

int ForexCpp::FXCrossDate(
             char usdTypeOfPeriods,
             char *holidayFile,
             TDate%         result);  /* (O) Resulting FX cross date */

In C#, char and char * are exposed as sByte and sByte*...

Since you have chosen to use C++/CLI rather than P/invoke the natural way to handle this is to pass a .net string rather than a char*.

Have you done any research on this yet? The internet is full of this type of stuff. Anyways, this page on MSDN lists various ways to convert between string types:

The one you want is at the bottom of the page.
