Name 'VarPtr' is not declared.In old vb code

问题

I have a old code in VB.Now I convert it into vb.net.There is a line in a code

Dim pCParameters As Integer

pCParameters = VarPtr(Parameters)

When I execute code the error occure that

Name 'VarPtr' is not declared.

VarPtr not supported in vb.net.So how I replace it.

回答1:

This is not as straight forward because your variables in .NET are managed. To do exactly what you are asking you need to look at GCHandle.Alloc and pin the variable so it cannot be moved. Then you can get its memory address.
Something like this (from memory):

GCHandle handle = GCHandle.Alloc(pCParameters , Pinned )
IntPtr ptr = handle.AddressOfPinnedObject

Yes I found the answer.The new VarPtr function is

Public Function VarPtr(ByVal e As Object) As Integer
Dim GC As GCHandle = GCHandle.Alloc(e, GCHandleType.Pinned)
Dim GC2 As Integer = GC.AddrOfPinnedObject.ToInt32
GC.Free()
Return GC2
