Receiving structs through TCP c#

Question

This post is directly related to an earlier post I made

My next problem is receiving the appropriate response from the equipment. The documentation gives me the following code for the returned struct.

typedef struct{
/*This value represents if the API request to modify has been a success or not*/
return_t ret_val;

/*Error code indicating error details*/
error_t err_code;

/*Response object for GET type action*/
U8 payload[0];
}MsgResp;

My question is, how do I get the raw byte stream received over TCP into this struct? Again, my instinct tell me something to do with memcpy, but I don't know how this translates to C#.

I am also confused about the types return_t and error_t, so any insight into those would also be helpful.

Hint: look for `typedef XXX return_t;` in the same or included C header file. `XXX` would be the underlying data type. Same for `error_t`. — Nikolai Fetissov, Aug 14 '12 at 15:16

The link from SLaks comment above is exactly what I needed.
