Write string data to MemoryMappedFile

Question

I am following this tutorial here

I am having a hard time figuring out how to get a string \"THIS IS A TEST MESSAGE\" to store in the memory mapped file and then pull it

Answer 1

I used this to write the characters of a string:

string contentString = "Hello";
char[] charsToWrite = contentString.ToCharArray();
accessor.WriteArray(0, charsToWrite, 0, charsToWrite.Length);

This wrote wide characters. Both C# and C++ programs were able to read the data as wide characters.
