Get value pointed by an IntPtr

[bassman4444]

Hello,
I'm looking for getting the values contained in the registers pointed by an IntPtr. In fact, it's a bitmap file, but I only can get its memory location with the IntPtr. So, how could I get its own value ?
Here is a part of the code:

IntPtr hbitmap = Intptr.Yero;
TwRC rc;
rc = DSiinf( appid, srcds, TwDG.Image, TwDAT.ImageNativeXfer, TwMSG.Get, ref hbitmap);
//TODO: get the values in the registers pointed by IntPtr hbitmap

Thanks in advance and have a nice day !

Pat

I just found how to do this (in case where s.o. would have been interested in):

You just have to allow unsafe compilation in the properties of your project and then, declare the function (obviously the one wich contains the "unsafe" code) as an "unsafe function" and declare in it an unsafe block using pointer
e.g.

public unsafe ArrayList Toto()
{
IntPtr toto;
...
unsafe
{
int *temp = (int*) toto;
int res = *temp;
}
}

the variable res gives the value contained in the memory at the location toto.
