Question

edited for clarification;
why wont this work yet compile?

class Member{
public:
__int32 PublicInt;
}
Member x;
memcpy(&x.PublicInt,&ByteArray,sizeof(__int32));

is this not getting a pointer to the place where int is stored?

Here is a quick sample to help you understand:

#include<iostream>
#include<cstring>
class Myclass
{
    public:
        char str2[40];

};

int main()
{
   char str1[]="Sample string";
   Myclass obj;
   memcpy(&(obj.str2),str1,strlen(str1)+1);
   std::cout<<obj.str2;

   return 0;
}

Hth 🙂
