Description

### Is there an existing issue for this?

- [X] I have searched the existing issues

### Current Behavior

In C#, the Candidate Name field assumes that the C++ code is sending a string pointer out. However, what is being sent out is an InternationalizedText pointer instead.

By having the wrong pointer type, Visual Studio sometimes crashes during testing and the data cannot be seen at all.

### Expected Behavior

_No response_

### Steps To Reproduce

_No response_

### Environment

```markdown
- OS:
```

### Anything else?

_No response_
