IntPtr
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.
