The fixed keyword is used to prevent the garbage collector from relocating a variable. You may only use this in an unsafe context.

fixed (int *c = &shape.color) {
  *c = Color.White; 
}

If you are using C# 2.0 or greater, the fixed may also be used to declare a fixed-size array. This is useful when creating code that works with a COM project or DLL.

Your array must be composed of one of the primitive types: bool, byte, char, double, float, int, long, sbyte, short, ulong, or ushort.

protected fixed int monthDays[12];
