Does "new IntPtr();" return a zero pointer ?

[ORC]

When initializing a IntPtr can I then be sure that this initializes to a
zero pointer: ?
"IntPtr MyPointer = new IntPtr();"

Thanks

Yes, the default ctor will initialize the IntPtr to zero. There is
also:

IntPtr foo = IntPtr.Zero;

That would definitely give a zero IntPtr as its a value type. However, its probably clearer in the code to use IntPtr.Zero
