I'm interested in how many of you use the unsafe code options of C#? And how often? I find that particular option its very biggest advantage over, say Java. What is your opinion on that matter?

I have to use it when I am doing low level stuff with bitmaps in memory for speed. Also a couple camera SDK's require blocks of memory to be pre-allocated so they have an address to dump recently shot photos into as part of their API.

I've never personally had to use it. But I'm doing business-type applications, so it'd be unlikely I'd need it.

Edit: I'm also going to move this to the C# Programmer's Lounge, it'll fit better there.
