First thing is that, trust the implementation made by Microsoft. This is a very primitive function and you will have to read the documentation first.

Second you can your strcpy_s or strcat_s (if you're concatenating). sprint_s is not really a choice string copy.

Third your strings must be null terminated.

To understand this better, I am illustrating this with a code example

C#
char buffer[12]= {0};
int offset =3;
char Buffer[50] = "Hello World";
sprintf_s(buffer,sizeof(buffer),  "%s", Buffer);


in the above example buffer has 12 character in legnth and Hello World String contains 11 characters + null terminated. Anything less than 12 character size will raise assertion buffer too small. for sprintf_s only the number of characters being copied only matters. not really the original size of the buffers.
