First off, I know this may be a very stupid question, so don’t shoot me for asking it.

I come from C++ background, and I love C++ to death, but now that I’ve been using C# for a while, I’ve grown to love C#. BUT, I miss the coding style of C++ and sometimes wish I could go back, but C# is just so time-saving now compared to C++ that I don’t think I could go back.

My point is, is there a way to code in C# that would make me feel like I’m actually writing C++ code? I guess what I mean is, can I write unmanaged code in C# without breaking things?

    Maybe you would like C++/Cli instead of C#:

    It is not good style to use unsafe (pointers etc.) code, if that is want you mean, in C# unless it is strictly necessary.

    Unsafe code examples:

    As you can see, objects have to be fixed at a memory location when using pointers which can lead to bad performance for the GC.
