For structures: VB.Len or Marshal.SizeOf

[Just Me]

I have some code converted from VB6 that contains VB.Len for structures.

VB.Len(lDevMode)

Seems to me that I can always change that to Marshal.SizeOf

Since sometimes Marshal.SizeOf works better

and VB.Len is never better.



Is that correct or are there cases when VB.Len is the correct one to use?





Thanks

In interop scenarios I would use 'Marshal.SizeOf' instead of 'Len'.
