AllocHGlobal / FreeHGlobal

[Felipe T.]

Anyone knows how can i use
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.FreeHGlobal and Marshal.AllocHGlobal
in Compact Framework?

Compact Framework marshaller does not contain these methods. You need to
PInvoke LocalAlloc and LocalFree

And you can get a ready-made implementation in the Smart Device Framework
(www.opennetcf.org/sdf/) in the OpenNETCF.Runtime.Interop.MarshalEx class.

There is a broken link in the server, when i try to download only the
binaries:
"File /downloads/bin/OpenNETCF.zip doesn't exist "

Anyway, i downloaded and compiled the source

Thanks,
