Get data from VARIANT

Hi,

I'm using a COM ActiveX inside my application written in C#.
I have no source of the ActiveX, just a small snippet.
There's an event in the ActiveX that pass some data using a VARIANT
structure as defined in the following snippet:

struct ImageInfo {
PBYTE Y;
PBYTE U;
PBYTE V;
}

ImageInfo* info = …;

VARIANT V;
V.vt = VT_BYREF | VT_UI1
V.pbVal = Info->Y.

Visual Studio translate the event signature with a 'ref object' parameter
for the VARIANT.
I need to reach the pbVal member and marshal it to get an array of bytes.
How should I do?

Thank you in advance

Marco
