Marshal::WriteInt16 Method (IntPtr, Int16)

.NET Framework (current version)

Writes a 16-bit integer value to unmanaged memory.

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

Syntax

public:
[SecurityCriticalAttribute]
static void WriteInt16(
	IntPtr ptr,
	short val
)

Parameters

ptr: Type: System::IntPtr
The address in unmanaged memory to write to.

The value to write.

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.
