static IntPtr SecureStringToCoTaskMemAnsi(System::Security::SecureString ^ s);public static IntPtr SecureStringToCoTaskMemAnsi (System.Security.SecureString s);static member SecureStringToCoTaskMemAnsi : System.Security.SecureString -> nativeintPublic Shared Function SecureStringToCoTaskMemAnsi (s As SecureString) As IntPtrParameters
The managed object to copy.
Returns
nativeint
The address, in unmanaged memory, where the s parameter was copied to, or 0 if a null object was supplied.
Exceptions
The s parameter is null.
There is insufficient memory available.
Remarks
The SecureStringToCoTaskMemAnsi method is useful for custom marshaling or when mixing managed and unmanaged code. Because this method allocates the unmanaged memory required for a string, always free the memory by calling ZeroFreeCoTaskMemAnsi. The characters of the string are copied as ANSI characters.
