Pass byte array from C# to C++                           If you want to pass a byte array to native DLL as parameter, you can use the Intptr to do this, please check the demo below. /C++ API code: TestDLL_API void TestArrayPara (BYTE * pArray, int nSize) { for ( int i= 0 ; i<nSize; i++) printf( "%d\n" , pArray[i]); } //C# code: class TestClass { [DllImport(@"TestDll.dll")] public static extern void TestArrayPara (IntPtr pArray, int nSize); public static void Test () { byte [] array = new byte [ 16 ]; for ( int i = 0 ; i < 16 ; i++) { array[i] = ( byte )(i + 97 ); } int size = Marshal.SizeOf(array[ 0 ]) * array.Length; IntPtr pnt = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(size); try { // Copy the array to unmanaged memory. Marshal.Copy(array, 0 , pnt, array
