	IntPtr ptr,
	short val
)

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.

The following example demonstrates how to read and write to an unmanaged array using the ReadInt16 and WriteInt16methods.

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