Yes, but marshaling an IntPtr doesn't require copying the entire buffer. Marshaling as a System.String *does* require copying the entire buffer. 4 bytes is clearly less than 100kB+. :-) So unless you really need a System.String, you could instead use IntPtr and use the System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal methods to interact with the unmanaged string, or you could use unsafe code and cast the IntPtr to a byte* for memory manipulation... - Jon _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
