In managed c++, what is the most efficient way to copy the contents of a
native buffer (BYTE*) to a managed stream?

thanks

As of .NET 2.0 you can use the System.IO.UnmanagedMemoryStream. It
wraps the native buffer directly so it doesn't require any copying.

Thanks, it appears that the UnmanagedMemoryStream can't be chained to
another stream. Would be nice if you could write a block of native memory
to the UnmanagedStream and have it write to the chained / underlying stream.
