UCHAR problem

[grubbymaster]

Hello

The problem i have is this :
i want to use the following structure in a DLL that i created:

typedef struct _NDIS_802_11_SSID {
ULONG SsidLength;
UCHAR Ssid [32];
} NDIS_802_11_SSID, *PNDIS_802_11_SSID;

and i want to take the UCHAR Ssid[32] field and copy in it a certain
variable.I've tried the following ways :

NDIS_802_11_SSID Data;

_tcsncpy((TCHAR *)Data.Ssid, mySSID, 32);
strncpy((char *)pData.m_SSID.Ssid, mySSID, 32);

if i display it like this it works : MessageBox(NULL, Data.Ssid, L"",
MB_OK); and it displays ok : "EXAMPLE".

If i pass this as a parameter to a function like this : void X
(NDIS_802_11_SSID Data) and call this function from C# the recieved
string is "E\0X\0A\0\M\0P\0\L\0E\0".We solved this problem also by
using a for loop like this for (j=0; j<32 ; j=j+2) but if we have a
larger string that i want to put in UCHAR Ssid[32]; it will not retain
only 15chars because of the "\0" insertion after each char.I believe
that the problem is in the conversions i'm makeing above, and how i
store the data (with the TCHAR * and char * conversions). Is there a
function to copy from one UCHAR[32] to another UCHAR[32] without
conversions?

The mySSID parameter is taken as a parameter: void y(UCHAR mySSID[32])
,but in the body of the function it is seen as UCHAR[] and i can't use
this :

Data.Ssid = mySSID (error because UCHAR[32] <--->
UCHAR[])

That's it. Hope you can help me in some way.
Thank you.Bye

You really should ask all this stuff in an appropriate place. This is
not it.

Check out the microsoft hierarchy.

You are converting between different char sets. Your
"E\0X\0A\0\M\0P\0\L\0E\0" looks like an UTF-16 String diplayed as 8-bit
string.

You may have to set the character set in the properties of your vs-project.
