Interop and SIZE_T

[Guest]

Hi all,

I've seen a few Win32 API functions with SIZE_T parameters mapped via
managed ints. Is this the most appropriate mapping or would an IntPtr be
better (thinking of future proofing for 64-bit windows)

Cheers,

Steve

Yep, SIZE_T should be mapped via IntPtr's. SIZE_T is a platform dependent
type, 64 bit on a 64 bit OS, 32 bit on others.
