I am trying to work with Netbios and the NCB. In the NCB there is a buffer that is supposed to point to another struct, the ADAPTER_STATUS. However, the adapter_status struct contains an array which makes it managed. I just need to assign the buffer in the NCB struct to the address of the adapter_status struct. So, something like:
NCB myncb = new NCB();
ADAPTER_STATUS adapter = new ADAPTER_STATUS();
myncb.ncb_buffer = &adapter;
does not work, because I cannot use & with a managed struct. I know there must be a way to retrieve adapter's address in memory. I just don't know the syntax. I've looked at Marshal.PtrtoStructure and Marshal.StructuretoPtr, but I'm not sure if their what I'm looking for. Any help you can give would be great.
