VS 2008 Using CType And UIntPtr?
Jul 16, 2010Assume that I have this declaration (according to MSDN):
Private Declare Function PostMessage Lib "user32" ( _
ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, _
ByVal wMsg As UInteger, _
[code]....
And this is how I use it:
PostMessage(hWnd, 516, CType(2, UIntPtr), CType(0, UIntPtr))
Option Strict is turned On. So the questions are:
1. Do I need to use UIntPtr in declaration or it will be better to use UInteger?
2. Do I need to use CType function in these cases or there is a better way for this or I need to avoid declaring pointers?

Converting Any Data To IntPtr?
Jun 2, 2010I have a function that I need to pass data to but the only type of data the function is allowed to accept as a parameter is IntPtr (yep you guessed it, Windows APIs). Would I be able to actually pass anything useful to it? In the case I'm looking at right now it would be a List(Of T) that I need to pass to the function? At the moment I'm resorting to just using a class level object that both the calling method and the function that accepts IntPtr can access, but I would like to negate the need for this if possible.
View 6 RepliesGet A String From An IntPtr From A WPARAM?
May 27, 2009i am using SendMessage to send a message with a LPTSTR in WPARAM from a dll to my vb.net form and i get it by overriding WndProc but the problem is when using Marshal.PtrToStringAuto on the WPARAM it doesn't work, the strange thing is that if i monitor WM_SETTEXT of the form and use PtrToStringAuto to get the string from LPARAM it works, i guess mine doesn't work that's because the dll is loaded by other application.

Code:
LRESULT CALLBACK CallWndProc(int nCode,WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam)

View 3 RepliesContinue On An Old Respond About System.IntPtr
Oct 18, 2010The idea with System.IntPtr is to represent an integer whose width in bits correspond to the size of a pointer in the hardware and operating system that the CLR is running in, it's platform specific in other words. It supports 32-bit and 64-bit architectures only.This is a legacy from old-style C API's where pointers and ints were frequently treated as interchangeable. The Win32 API has many such parameters, where the width varies with the underlying architecture thus the mess with porting of code from 32-bit to 64-bit (we already did this once when going from 16-bit to 32-bit, funny how we never learn...).In practice, as is mentioned in other responses, it can be used to hold unmanaged resource handles and pointers etc that stem from the underlying Win32 functions. It can also be used to hold integers of the natural size for current platform. You can also use IntPtr.Size to dtermine the size of a pointer on the current platform.SO when you explain this to a child ;) this would be used to let program's flow at the same speed at diffrent kinds of operating systems?

VS 2010 Saving A Intptr Array In Structure To File?
Jul 16, 2010i need to save an array of intptrs as a part of a structure in a file, vb.net gives me "File I/O of a structure with field 'pList' of type 'IntPtr' is not valid." error, ok i figured and tried to convert them to integers and while it worked for other singular intptrs it did not for the array as it just throws me a conversion error. I then tried rebuilding the array in the new sub of the save structure and while that sorta worked(i think) it then gives a "bad size" error when saving. Im out of ideas, saving the array elements one by one would be suicide as the amount varies and is well in hundreds,
View 1 RepliesUnable To Use IntPtr (WindowsIdentity Token) As Input Param On WebMethod (ASMX Web Service)?
Jun 26, 2009We're in a strange situation with a legacy winforms VB.NET 1.1 application using ASMX web services. Trying to send a user Token from a WindowsIdentity object as a parameter to a WebMethod. I will be adding a 'HACK: comment. System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Token
The token is of type IntPtr, the first problem is the WSDL being generated doesn't support IntPtr with the error of 'unsupported type'I'm aware this is a big WTF question and sounds insecure, so any simple helpful alternatives are welcome but there are a lot of constraints on how we can change this system, including complications with the hosting environment. So I would just like to get our piece of data over to the web service to save a lot of other headaches.

Asp.net - Use The "impersonate" Function With A String (username) Rather Than Intptr?
Jun 9, 2009The System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.Impersonate function takes a System.intptr parameter, which seems awfully useless in my situation (with my limited understanding). I am developing an intranet application that uses integrated security to authorize users page-by-page against a role associated with their Windows Identity. I have no passwords or anything of the sort. Simply a Windows username. For testing purposes, how could I possibly impersonate a Windows user based on their username? The "impersonate" method jumped out at me as obvious, but it takes an unexpected parameter.
