Answer2: ok, you welcome,
if you use pointers in c# you may not be able to access this application from other application which does not have pointer features. you should think that .net platform is like a common negotiater between .net compatible languages
standalone application is an application which does not use other applications it not being used other applications. (relate this what i was mentioning above....) . it is an application create services for itself and use them for itself.

Answer3: Answer to your question may be simple as YES,
But would boil down deeper as, why to or Not to use pointers in C#.
Since C# is first most compatible language with .NET platform specifications. it should compliant with .NET'S
1. Managed code approach
2. CLS - common language specification
learning more on above concepts would tell you why you should not use pointers in C#
But, you can still use pointers in c# if you going to write some standalone applications. but if u choose write a class library where you library would be accessble for other application written on other .NET compatible(or any other) languages, you should never use pointers!
PS: if you use pointers in C# that code block should always be enclosed within an "unsafe" block for the complier to regognize it as "incompatible .NET feature".
