Q: 

C++/CLI, I have a Byte[] and I need a char* to the first and last elements.

I've been handed a Byte[] that contains a file. I need to pass this to another method that is expecting two parameters, a char* to the beginning of the file and a char* to the end of the file.

I'm assuming I need to pin the array first so it doesn't get collected. I don't imagine I can then just cast the first and last elements, right?
