  IntPtr ppbBuffer,
  ref uint pdwLength

Description

0x80070057

ppbBuffer or pdwLength is null.

Remarks

You can use the IWMSBufferAllocatorIWMSBufferAllocator Object (C#) to allocate the buffer.

Example

// Declare variables.
IntPtr pbBuffer;
uint pdwLength;
byte[] Bytes;

// Retrieve a pointer to the buffer and convert it to an array of bytes.
// The pBuffer pointer is user-defined.
pBuffer.GetBufferAndLength(pbBuffer, pdwLength);
Bytes = Array.CreateInstance(GetType(byte), Convert.ToInt32(pdwLength));
Marshal.Copy(pPlsBuf, Bytes, 0, Convert.ToInt32(pdwLength));
