Marshal::WriteIntPtr Method (IntPtr, Int32, IntPtr)

.NET Framework (current version)

Writes a processor native-sized integer value to unmanaged memory at a specified offset.

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

Syntax

public:
[SecurityCriticalAttribute]
static void WriteIntPtr(
	IntPtr ptr,
	int ofs,
	IntPtr val
)

Parameters

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

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

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

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
AccessViolationException	Base address (ptr) plus offset byte (ofs) produces a null or invalid address.

Remarks

This method writes a 32 bit integer on 32 bit systems, and a 64 bit integer on 64 bit systems.

WriteIntPtr enables direct interaction with an unmanaged C-style IntPtr 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.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to read and write to an unmanaged array using the ReadIntPtr and WriteIntPtr methods.

C++

No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.
