struct to IntPtr?

Question

Hi all, Is there a way to create an IntPtr from a struct rather then this way? ----------------------------------------------- namespace csConsole { using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; struct Test { public int Value; public Test(int e) {Value = e;} public override string ToString() { return string.Format("Test.Value = {0}",Value); } } class MessageTest { public unsafe static IntPtr Get(Test* t) { IntPtr ptr = new IntPtr(t); Marshal.StructureToPtr(new Test(12345) ,ptr ,true); return ptr; } public static unsafe void Main() { Test* tPtr = stackalloc Test[1]; Test d = (Test)Marshal.PtrToStructure(Get(tPtr) ,typeof(Test)); Console.WriteLine(d); Console.Read(); } } } ----------------------------------------------- This way I need unsafe context and allocate space on the stack which is only usable in the methods scope. Is there another way of creating and maintaining IntPtrs? Thanks in advance
