My background is embedded programming in the C/C++ world. I have recently joined a project that is using C#. My issue is how do I translate C structs to C# structs when the data within them must remain contiguous to match a stream of data? For example, I have two structs:
typedef struct
{
byte regs[15];
} Registers;
typedef struct
{
Registers Grp1;
Registers Grp2;
} HW_Devices;
From what I have seen, C# wants the array to be dynamically allocated which in this case would make the memory non-contiguous and thus I cannot read the data from the stream directly to the structure. Hopefully I'm missing something simple here.

Why are you trying to convert them? In C# you can focus on being more object oriented. In my limited experience using classes would be the way to go. In object oriented languages structs seem slightly outdated.

C# supports struct
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack = 2)]
public struct EdsCapacity
{
public int NumberOfFreeClusters;
public int BytesPerSector;
public int Reset;
}

You could try something like this:

unsafe struct Registers
{
public fixed byte regs[15];
}
