When should I use unsafe code in C#?

Unsafe code in C# should be used when you need to perform operations that require direct memory access, such as pointer arithmetic or interfacing with unmanaged code.

What are the risks of using unsafe code?

The main risks include potential memory corruption, security vulnerabilities, and making your code less portable and harder to maintain.

Can you give me an example of unsafe code?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

unsafe {
    int* p = stackalloc int[10];
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
        p[i] = i;
    }
}

How can I enable unsafe code in my project?

You can enable unsafe code in your project settings by checking the 'Allow unsafe code' option in the project properties under the Build tab.
