Gets the value pointed to as a series of consecutive bytes.

Syntax

HRESULT GetBytes(   
   DWORD  dwStart,  
   DWORD  dwCount,  
   BYTE*  pBytes,  
   DWORD* pdwBytes  
);  

int GetBytes(  
   uint       dwStart,   
   uint       dwCount,   
   out byte[] pBytes,   
   out uint   pdwBytes  
);

Parameters

dwStart
[in] An offset, in bytes, from the start of the object pointed to.

dwCount
[in] The number of bytes to retrieve.

pBytes
[in, out] An array that is filled in with the value as a series of consecutive bytes, starting at the given offset from the object pointed to.

pdwBytes
[out] Returns the number of bytes actually retrieved.

Return Value

If successful, returns S_OK; otherwise, returns an error code.

Remarks

This method is used if the pointer as represented by this IDebugPointerObject points to a primitive type or a simple array of primitive types (that is, an array that can be represented by a simple sequence of bytes).
