If it works, it does not copy over the length which means it does not work
quite right.

You should probably turn my WriteLines into an AssertEqual() call but I don't
use it so I don't know the exact syntax.

Thanks,

Vlad

using System;
using System.Security;

class MainClass
{
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
                SecureString ss = new SecureString();
                ss.AppendChar('a');
                Console.WriteLine("ss len {0}", ss.Length);
                SecureString ss2 = ss.Copy();
                Console.WriteLine("ss2 len {0}", ss2.Length); //This is zero
when it should be 1
        }
}
