C# deallocate memory referenced by IntPtr

Question

I am using some unmanaged code that is returning pointers (IntPtr) to large image objects. I use the references but after I am finished with the images, I need to free that

Answer 1

Perhaps you could try creating a Bitmap object from hBitmap and then disposing it.

Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.FromHBitmap(hBitmap);
bitmap.Dispose();
