How to get reference (pointer) to a structure

[tomi]

Help please

Ho can I write following (from C#) thing in VB.NET ?

IntPtr pointer = new IntPtr(&mode)

mode is a instance of some structure.
I cannot find any solution. I need to pass the pointer to a structure
to COM+ object Thanks

Aren't pointer operations unsafe in C#?

Dim pointer As New IntPtr(AddressOf mode)

Usually, it would just make the VB.NET signature as ByRef. So, it
would be:

Dim mode As TheMode
....

theFunction (mode)

I'm not exactly sure why they are doing that in C# either. You're
going to have to be a little more explicit.
