Conversion for FixedStatement not implemented
Input code
In unsafe context
public class CSharpClass
{
public static void Main(){
byte[] bytes = [1, 2, 3];
fixed (byte* bufferPtr = bytes)
{
Console.WriteLine($"The address of the first array element: {(long)bufferPtr:X}.");
Console.WriteLine($"The value of the first array element: {*bufferPtr}.");
}
}
}
Erroneous output
Public Class CSharpClass
Public Shared Sub Main()
If True Then
Dim bytes As Byte() = _(1, 2, 3)
''' Cannot convert FixedStatementSyntax, CONVERSION ERROR: Conversion for FixedStatement not implemented, please report this issue in 'fixed (byte* bufferPtr = by...' at character 91

''' Input:

Expected output

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Module Program
Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim bytes As Byte() = {1, 2, 3}
Dim bufferHandle As GCHandle = GCHandle.Alloc(bytes, GCHandleType.Pinned)
Try
Dim bufferPtr As IntPtr = bufferHandle.AddrOfPinnedObject()
Console.WriteLine($"The address of the first array element: {bufferPtr.ToInt64():X}.")
Console.WriteLine($"The value of the first array element: {Marshal.ReadByte(bufferPtr)}.")
Finally
bufferHandle.Free()
End Try

Details
- Product in use: e.g. icsharpcode.github.io/CodeConverter / VS extension / both
- Version in use: e.g. 5.6.3 or a commit hash (if it's a 3rd party tool using this library, try one of the above)
- Did you see it working in a previous version, which?
- Any other relevant information to the issue, or your interest in contributing a fix.

Please fill in the template correctly. It is unlikely that somebody is able to help you with so little information.
I've added my best guess at an input and expected output. A real example would help, though there are currently no contributors interested in implementing C#->VB features.
