Cannot take the address of the given expression C# pointer

Question

Consider the following code in an unsafe context:

string mySentence = \"Pointers in C#\";

fixed (char* start = mySentence) // this is the line we\'re talkin         


        

Answer 1

mySentence[0] returns a readonly single character, you cannot get a pointer to that.

Use:

fixed(char* start = &mySentence)

instead.
