If you have .net 2.0 SDK, go to command prompt, write this with notepad to a .cs file, compile using "csc.exe".

public string ReverseString( char* source )
{
  char reversed[] = source;
  for(int i=0;i<strlength(source);i++);
  {
    *(reversed--) = *(source++);
  }
  return reversed;
}

PS: Untested. But should be like this as I remember core C.
