Marshaling is the process that allows managed C# code to safely exchange data with native code, and it’s at the center of every DLL call in Unity. In this video, we build a native library from scratch, call it from Unity, and step through exactly how data is copied, pinned, and shared across the managed-to-native boundary. Along the way, we cover ownership, lifetime, and the most common interop patterns so native code stops feeling mysterious and starts behaving predictably.
