-> Operator (C# Reference)
The -> operator combines pointer dereferencing and member access.
Remarks
An expression of the form,
x->y
(where x is a pointer of type T* and y is a member of T) is equivalent to,
(*x).y
The -> operator can be used only in unmanaged code.
The -> operator cannot be overloaded.
Example
// cs_operator_dereferencing.cs
// compile with: /unsafe
using System;
struct Point
{
public int x, y;
}
class MainClass
{
unsafe static void Main()
{
Point pt = new Point();
Point* pp = &pt;
pp->x = 123;
pp->y = 456;
Console.WriteLine ( "{0} {1}", pt.x, pt.y );
}
}
Output
123 456
