Compiler Error CS1642
Fixed size buffer fields may only be members of structs.
This error occurs if you use a fixed size buffer field in a class, instead of a struct. To resolve this error, change the class to a struct or declare the field as an ordinary array.
Example
The following sample generates CS1642.
// CS1642.cs
// compile with: /unsafe /target:library
unsafe class C
{
fixed int a[10]; // CS1642
}
unsafe struct D
{
fixed int a[10];
}
unsafe class E
{
public int[] a = null;
}
