Marshal.WriteInt16 Method (Object, Int32, Char)

.NET Framework 4

Writes a 16-bit signed integer value to unmanaged memory at a specified offset.

Namespace: System.Runtime.InteropServices
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public static void WriteInt16(
	Object ptr,
	int ofs,
	char val
)

Parameters

ptr: Type: System.Object
The base address in unmanaged memory of the target object.

ofs: Type: System.Int32
An additional byte offset, which is added to the ptr parameter before writing.

val: Type: System.Char
The value to write.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
AccessViolationException	Base address (ptr) plus offset byte (ofs) produces a null or invalid address.
ArgumentException	ptr is an ArrayWithOffset object. This method does not accept ArrayWithOffset parameters.

Remarks

WriteInt16 enables direct interaction with an unmanaged 16-bit signed array, eliminating the expense of copying an entire unmanaged array (using Marshal.Copy) to a separate managed array before setting its element values.

Writing to unaligned memory locations is supported.
