Hello,

I am new to C# and the C family in general, having used Delphi for many 
years. I am trying to figure out how to have an element of a buffer array 
use a different structure than it's original.

Example:
I have these two declarations


public class MyStructure
{
 public ushort element1;
 public ushort element2;
 public uint element3;

}

and

private BufferDescription d = new BufferDescription();

How would I now have d.Format point to MyStructure so that it uses the 
elements in MyStructure instead of the elements in d.Format?

I have tried:

MyStructure mns = new MyStructure();
d.Format = mns;

and get the error that I cannot implicitly convert one to the other.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Joe Gabriele
