try trimming your strWinDir
I know you need the Space(255) for the buffer into unmanaged, but maybe
adding a .Trim() after all is said and done would help.

I can't find the left in vb.net, so
I used the trim
arrFiles = system.IO.Directory.GetFiles (strWinDir.Trim & "\media\","*.wav")
This still gets me the exception.
If I remove the "*.wav" and substitute ""
no exception occurs, but the arrfiles array is empty.

'Trim' won't work here too. Use something like
'Strings.Left(strWinDir, intRet) & ...'.

If I put a literal "C:\Windows"
in the get files statement it works.
example:
arrFiles = system.IO.Directory.GetFiles ("C:\Windows" &
"\media\","*.wav")
but it doesn't like it if the first parameter is a variable
string.

The (Strings.Left(strWinDir, intRet)
worked.
What is Strings.left ?

It takes the left part of a string (the 1st 'intRet' number of
characters).
