GCHandle Structure
Silverlight
This API supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.
Provides a means for accessing a managed object from unmanaged memory.
Namespace: System.Runtime.InteropServices
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The GCHandle type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() ![]() | IsAllocated | Gets a value indicating whether the handle is allocated. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | Target | Gets or sets the object this handle represents. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() ![]() | AddrOfPinnedObject | Security Critical. Retrieves the address of an object in a Pinned handle. |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Alloc(Object) | Security Critical. Allocates a Normal handle for the specified object. |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Alloc(Object, GCHandleType) | Security Critical. Allocates a handle of the specified type for the specified object. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | Equals | Determines whether the specified GCHandle object is equal to the current GCHandle object. (Overrides ValueType.Equals(Object).) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | Free | Security Critical. Releases a GCHandle. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | GetHashCode | Returns an identifier for the current GCHandle object. (Overrides ValueType.GetHashCode().) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | ToString | Returns the fully qualified type name of this instance. (Inherited from ValueType.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Explicit(GCHandle to IntPtr) | A GCHandle is stored using an internal integer representation. |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Explicit(IntPtr to GCHandle) | Security Critical. A GCHandle is stored using an internal integer representation. |
