What .NET UnmanagedType is Unicode (UTF-16)?
- by Pat
I am packing bytes into a struct, and some of them correspond to a Unicode string. The following works fine for an ASCII string:
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
private struct PacketBytes
{
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 64)]
public string MyString;
}
I assumed that I could do
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
private struct PacketBytes
{
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr, SizeConst = 32)]
public string MyString;
}
to make it Unicode, but that didn't work. (Since this field is part of a struct with other fields, which I've omitted for clarity, I can't simply change the CharSet of the containing struct.)
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
