C# 0 The Complete Reference

Name

, each instance of 

FixedBankRecord

 will contain all 80 

bytes of the 

Name

 array, which is the way that a C++ 

struct

 would be organized. Thus, the 

overall size of 

FixedBankRecord

 is 96, which is the sum of its members. Here is a program 

that demonstrates this fact:

// Demonstrate a fixed-size buffer.

using System;

// Create a fixed-size buffer.

unsafe struct FixedBankRecord {

  public fixed byte Name[80]; // create a fixed-size buffer

  public double Balance;

  public long ID;

}

class FixedSizeBuffer {

  // Mark Main as unsafe.

  unsafe static void Main() {

    Console.WriteLine("Size of FixedBankRecord is " +

                       sizeof(FixedBankRecord));

  }

}

The output is shown here:

Size of FixedBankRecord is 96
