Jagged Uint8 array convert to C# byte

Question

I have a jagged uint8 array like this in c++:

UINT8 ras[2][3] = {{1,2,3},{4,5,6}}

I need some way to use this as a byte array in c#. Something like

byte[2][3] ras = {{1,2,3},{4,5,6}}

I have a lot of uint8 arrays, so doing it manually is not an option. Anya ideas?

C# supports jagged arrays well. What is completely unclear is how you intend to interop with your C++ code. File? COM? pinvoke? C++/CLI? — Hans Passant, Feb 24 '12 at 10:22
I have c++ files containing the jagged UINT8 arrays. I need these converted to c# jagged byte arrays — Casper Thule Hansen, Feb 24 '12 at 10:25

If I understand the comments to your question above, you are simply missing a bit of C# syntax.

The C# syntax would be:

byte[][] ras = new byte[][] {new byte[] {1,2,3}, new byte[] {4,5,6}};

It's quite a bit more verbose than the equivalent c++, but easily translated mechanically with sed.
