Memcpy of native array to managed array in C++ CLI

Question

Am I doing this right?

I get a pointer to a native array and need to copy to a managed array. Use memcpy() with a pin_ptr.

unsigned char* pArray;

That works, but isn't safe. You'll blow the garbage collected heap to smithereens when you get arrayCount wrong. Very hard to diagnose.

Marshal::Copy() is safe and just as fast.
