unsafe constructor?

you mean a constructor that uses unsafe code (pointers and such like)?

The following should do the trick - you will also need to modify the project properties to allow unsafe code.
C#: 
	public class Class1
	{
		public Class1()
		{
			unsafe
			{
			char * str;
			}
		}
	}
 
I got it to work but found that I cannot pass pointers to managed types, which makes sense.

The reason I was trying to use pointers was that I cannot assign a class to a class.
Here is the edit method:
C#: 
void Edit()
{
	if(this.surface.selWB==null)
		return;

	a.graphics.WrappedBmp wb=new a.graphics.WrappedBmp(this.surface.selWB);
	EditForm f=new EditForm(this.surface, ref wb);
	if(DialogResult.Yes==f.ShowDialog())
	{
		this.surface.selWB= wb;
		this.surface.Invalidate();
		this.needsSaved=true;
	}
	f.Dispose();
}
In EditForm f, wb is directly modified and IS actually changed, HOWEVER, when I assign
this.surface.selWB= wb;
selWB does NOT change. There are no errors, just nothing!

But if when I initialize wb like this:
a.graphics.WrappedBmp wb= this.surface.selWB;
this.surface.selWB IS changed from the EditForm. And is what I don't want. I want a new instance of WrappedBitmap to be directly changed and then assign that to this.surface.selWB only if EditForm returns Yes.

Why doesn't wb when it is a new instance and modified by EditForm change selWB when it is assigned to it?? ie..
the full code above.

Ok, got somewhere but don't really understand why the above does not work.

Here is what I had to do:
I created a method in Class WrappedBmp called Assign.

When I call that and send wb to it, it works.

Why doesn't the above code work?
