Access to driver memory using C#

[Martin]

Hello, I haven't found any answer on this - if it is possible or not.

I have a PCI card with a memory on it. I have also a driver (written in
C++) that maps the memory from the card to user mode - I need very fast
access to this memory, that's why I need to map it directly to my
program.

And now comes my problem - I want to write the control program in c#.

Is there any way how to access to the mapped memory? It is in user
space, I know its size in runtime (not in compile-time), I get its
address using IOCTL from the driver. Now I need to "map" it on Int32
array or something like that...

IMO you can create a class, wrapper, that will handle I/O to that memory.
