How to marshal structs with unknown length string fields in C#
- by Ofir
Hi all,
I get an array of bytes, I need to unmarshal it to C# struct.
I know the type of the struct, it has some strings fields.
The strings in the byte array appears as so: two first bytes are the length of the string, then the string itself.
I don;t know the length of the strings.
I do know that its Unicode!
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
public class User
{
int Id;//should be 1
String UserName;//should be OFIR
String FullName;//should be OFIR
}
the byte array looks like so:
00,00,01,00,
00,00,08,00,
4F,00,46,00,49,00,52,00,
00,00,08,00,
4F,00,46,00,49,00,52,00,
I also found this link with same problem unsolved:

Thank you all,
