struct

This is the value type used to store unmanaged pointers or handles (e.g., IntPtr objects are used in the System.IO.FileStream class to hold file handles).

Using this type allows your pointers to be platform-independent, as IntPtr is automatically mapped to a 32-bit integer on 32-bit operating systems and to a 64-bit integer on 64-bit operating systems. The IntPtr type is CLS-compliant and should be used in preference of the UIntPtr .

 public struct  IntPtr  : System.Runtime.Serialization.ISerializable {  // Public Constructors  public  IntPtr  (int   value   );    public  IntPtr  (long   value   );    public  IntPtr  (void   *value   );  // Public Static Fields  public static readonly IntPtr  Zero  ;  // =0   // Public Static Properties  public static int  Size  {get; }  // Public Static Methods  public static bool operator  !=  (IntPtr   value1   , IntPtr   value2   );    public static bool operator  =  =  (IntPtr   value1   ,  IntPtr   value2   );    public static explicit operator  int  (IntPtr   value   );    public static explicit operator  long  (IntPtr   value   );    public static explicit operator  IntPtr  (int   value   );    public static explicit operator  IntPtr  (long   value   );    public static explicit operator  IntPtr  (void   *value   );    public static explicit operator  Void  (IntPtr   value   );  // Public Instance Methods  public override bool  Equals  (object   obj   );  // overrides ValueType  public override int  GetHashCode  ( );  // overrides ValueType  public int  ToInt32  ( );    public long  ToInt64  ( );    public void*  ToPointer  ( );    public override string  ToString  ( );  // overrides ValueType  }
