I need to get a pointer of a variable...
How can I get it ?
for example:
Dim a() as CStructure
Dim z as System.IntPtr
z = ??????
Sushi 6 22441
The Marshal class has methods to help in this.
See Marshal.UnsafeA ddressOfPinnedA rrayElement.
You can create and use unmananged blocks of memory with Marshal.AllocHG lobal
and it's related methods
Vou can copy to and from C structs with StructureToPtr and PtrToStructure.

Variables that are declared as a reference type are "type-safe pointers":
\\\
Dim f1 As New Foo()
Dim f2 As Foo = f1 ' Points to the same instance as 'f1'.
///
How can I get it ?
for example: Dim a() as CStructure Dim z as System.IntPtr
What exactly do you want to archieve/to do with the pointer?

I will try to explain better
I want to execute some TrackServer functions...
Follow the prototype
COMSVCSLib.IGet AppData.GetApps (ByRef nApps As System.UInt32, ByVal aAppData
As System.IntPtr)
So
aAppData is pointer of an array of COMSVCSLib.CApp Data
In another words...
pAppData() As COMSVCSLib.CApp Data
aAppData As IntPtr = pAppData
Well...
After I get this IntPtr, I will need to convert this IntPtr to the pAppData
array
Did you understand me ?
Thanks for all,
Sushi
You need to declare a VB structure that corresponds to the layout of the C
structure that you are passed from the unmanaged side. Once you have that
you can use Marshal.PtrToSt ructure to obtain the contents of your structure.
For an array of structures you need to modify the IntPtr that you have to
the offset of the particular array element that you wish to access.
Unfortunately I can't find a reference to the structure you're trying to
grab.
