"address of" operator in VB.NET

[ereeno]

Can anyone tell me how to get the memory address of a variable in Visual Basic.NET?

I know you are supposed to just pass things around "ByRef" but I am using C functions as well which take pointers so i need specific memory addresses so that I can be sure I am passing things in right.

Can someone tell me how to find the address of a variable? This would be equivalent to the & operator in C. i.e. &x means address of x.

Thanks in advance!

No!

The AddressOf operator creates a function delegate that points to the function specified by procedurename. When the specified procedure is an instance method then the function delegate refers to both the instance and the method so that when the function delegate is invoked the specified method of the specified instance is called.

The AddressOf operator can be used as the operand of a delegate constructor or it can be used in a context in which the type of the delegate can be determined by the compiler.
