The current process does not have read access to all the addressed characters. |
| ArgumentNullException |
value is null. |
| ArgumentException |
value specifies an array that contains an invalid Unicode character, or value specifies an address less than 64000. |
If value is a null pointer, an Empty instance is initialized.
This constructor copies the sequence of Unicode characters at the specified pointer until a null character (hexadecimal 0x0000) is reached.
If the specified array is not null-terminated, the behavior of this constructor is system dependent. For example, such a situation might cause an access violation.
In C#, this constructor is defined only in the context of unsafe code.
