StringToHGlobalUni Method (s)

.NET Components for Mobility

Copies the contents of a managed String into unmanaged memory.

Declaration Syntax

C#	Visual Basic

public static IntPtr StringToHGlobalUni(
	string s
)

Public Shared Function StringToHGlobalUni ( _
	s As String _
) As IntPtr

Parameters

s (String): A managed string to be copied.

Return Value

The address, in unmanaged memory, to where the s was copied, or 0 if null string was supplied.

Remarks

StringToHGlobalUni is useful for custom marshaling or for use when mixing managed and unmanaged code. Since this method allocates the unmanaged memory required for a string, always free the memory by calling FreeHGlobal(IntPtr). This method provides the opposite functionality of PtrToStringUni(IntPtr).
