Name
GCHandle
Synopsis
This class is used when you need to pass a managed object to
unmanaged code. To use this class, pass an instance of
a .NET-managed type to the
Alloc()
method. The
single-argument form of
Alloc()
creates the
GCHandle
with
GCHandleType.Normal
,
which ensures that the object will not be freed by the garbage
collector. (This means that some kind of user code must also call the
Free()
method
in order to release the object.) Managed code can use the
Target
property to access the underlying object.
public struct GCHandle { // Public Instance Properties public field bool IsAllocated{get; } public field object Target{set; get; } // Public Static Methods public static method GCHandle Alloc(object value); public static method GCHandle Alloc(object value, GCHandleType type); public static explicit operator method GCHandle( IntPtr value); public static explicit operator method IntPtr( GCHandle value); // Public Instance Methods public method IntPtr AddrOfPinnedObject(); public method void Free(); }
