I am attempting to convert some C# code to VB.Net. My understanding of both languages is pretty limited. I am trying to "assign" (if that is the correct term for it) an address to a pointer.

In C# it is done like this (I think!):

IntPtr StaticAddress = (IntPtr)0x0100d514;

How do I do it in VB.net??

I have worked out how to create a pointer and assign the address of a new variable to it but that is not what I am after. I already know the address, and simply want to point my pointer at it.

Any help or abuse would be much appreciated...:)

here's an article on it: http://www.123aspx.com/resdetail.aspx?res=31302

Though, I would find a way to use managed code and dump the pointers. Your losing many .NET benefits by using pointers.
