You have to use the unsafe keyword at a method signature to have a method wherein you use pointers in C#.

This touches upon it some and I've also just read about this some in C# 4.0 in a Nutshell. I don't find unsafe that interesting nor long to ever try it. I've managed to sneak into being a junior developer through the school of hard knocks instead of a bunch of formal training in C++. I just want to keep using C# like it is C#.
