Doubts using P/Invoking

[Anderson Takemitsu Kubota]

Hi!

I need to P/Invoke the following function:

public struct PROCESSOR_INFO
{
public ushort wVersion;
public byte[] szProcessCore;
public ushort wCoreRevision;
public byte[] szProcessorName;
public ushort wProcessorRevision;
public byte[] szCatalogNumber;
public byte[] szVendor;
public uint dwInstructionSet;
public uint dwClockSpeed;
}
public unsafe string GetProcessorInfo()
{
Int32 OutputBufferSize, BytesReturned;
BytesReturned = 0;
PROCESSOR_INFO pi;
int dwPlatformInfoCmd;
dwPlatformInfoCmd = 0;
int* iPtr = &dwPlatformInfoCmd;
IntPtr iPtrCtlCode = (IntPtr)iPtr;
Int32 buffersize = sizeof(PROCESSOR_INFO);
bool retVal = KernelIoControl(IOCTL_PROCESSOR_INFORMATION,
iPtrCtlCode,
4,
pi,
buffersize,
ref BytesReturned);
string strReturn = "";
string strAux;
return Convert.ToString(pi.szProcessCore)+ " -
"+Convert.ToString(pi.szProcessorName);
}

But I am getting the error:
Cannot take the address or size of a variable of a managed type
(PROCESSOR_INFO)
I believe that this problem is happening because I have the byte[] with a
non fixed lenght.
How could I solve this problem?

Thank you.

Can you tell me where it is?
I searched for IOCTL_PROCESSOR_INFORMATION, but I have found nothing.

It's all already done in the OpenNETCF library. We did it (and provided in
the source format) so that the others would be spared the guesswork.

pkfuncs.h (C:\WINCE420\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\INC) says:

#define IOCTL_PROCESSOR_INFORMATION CTL_CODE(FILE_DEVICE_HAL, 25,
METHOD_BUFFERED, FILE_ANY_ACCESS)

winoctl.h (C:\WINCE420\PUBLIC\COMMON\SDK\INC) says:
#define FILE_ANY_ACCESS 0
