Adds an offset to the value of an unsigned pointer.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
'Declaration Public Shared Function Add ( _ pointer As UIntPtr, _ offset As Integer _ ) As UIntPtr
Parameters
- pointer
- Type: System.UIntPtr
The unsigned pointer to add the offset to.
- offset
- Type: System.Int32
The offset to add.
Return Value
Type: System.UIntPtrA new unsigned pointer that reflects the addition of offset to pointer.
The Add method does not throw an exception if the result is too large to represent as a pointer on the specified platform. Instead, the addition operation is performed in an unchecked context.
Languages that do not support operator overloading or custom operators can use this method to add an offset to the value of an unsigned pointer.
The following example instantiates a UIntPtr object that points to the beginning of a ten-element array, and then calls the Add method to iterate the elements in the array.
