I thought .NET was supposed to make things easier, if anything, than unmanaged code.

if you think I'm wrong show me how to *create an object* at a specific address in .NET
Invoke the C method from C# you would use to allocation memory at that specific vmem address. Keep a reference to that address in C# as a pointer as you would in C. No difference from doing it in C. Again if you can address it in C you can address it in C# using pointers. Can you show me what method you're invoking in C that allocates memory at a specific address? Then I can give an example and it would remove the confusion. I can only guess at what methods you're trying to use.
what C method? the method to create the object? that's not a .NET object. I can already do all this mapping in C. There's no point in any of that.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

you do understand that paged memory allows you to do pointer ops directly to a file, i assume? and that normally what you'd do is just create your data structures at that memory mapped address and then use them like normal classes and structure, which are automatically written to disk as they are accessed.
struct foo {
int bar;
};foo* pfoo = VirtualAlloc(..., sizeof(foo));
pfoo->bar=1; // writes to disk
printf("%d",pfoo->bar); // reads from disk.there is simply no way to do that in .NET if you're saying there is show me how. Your method call technique does not enable this.

lol yes there is. You didn't read anything I said. As I said before. C# pointers are the same as C/C++. Look at the example below. I literally just compiled and ran this on my computer with zero errors.
using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;using SIZE_T = System.IntPtr;
using DWORD = System.UInt32;namespace TestNet
{
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
struct Foo
{
public int bar;
}static class Program { \[DllImport("Kernel32.dll")\] private static unsafe extern void\* VirtualAlloc(void\* lpAddress, SIZE\_T dwSize, DWORD flAllocationType, DWORD flProtect); private const DWORD MEM\_COMMIT = 0x00001000; private const DWORD PAGE\_READWRITE = 0x04; static unsafe void Main(string\[\] args) { Foo\* pfoo = (Foo\*)VirtualAlloc((void\*)0, (SIZE\_T)sizeof(Foo), MEM\_COMMIT, PAGE\_READWRITE); pfoo->bar = 1; // writes to disk Console.WriteLine(pfoo->bar.ToString()); // reads from disk. } }}
Make a C# console app and paste that code in. WaLa!!

i'm going to try that. Assuming it works, I apologize for all the churn. You may have just taught my stubborn self something. the example really helped, so thank you.

it's mixed mode, as I understand it. Managed *and* unmanaged in the same PE. So it's not simply a .NET assembly but an assembly with a bag on the side of unmanaged code. I'm certain this was true when it was introduced. It probably still is. also i think there's still marshalling going on with managed->unmanaged calls in C++/CLI it might be more efficient than the standard marshalling though, but it's still marshalling.

yeah thanks. Though what zebra006 (sp?) showed me was more what I was after. Either way, it gives me a starting point.

I said they don't work how they are supposed to. How they were designed was to map files to a process address space so you could do pointer ops to read and write files. That is not doable under .NET. Sorry I've just explained this a lot. If you've used memory mapped files in unmanaged code then you know what i'm talking about. Otherwise you might never. I don't know. You cannot do var foo = new int[100000]; //backed by file. That's how it's supposed to work. It can't under .NET

i love it when i learn stuff, even if i have to be dragged to it. I'm only curious if this worked in early .NET and I just missed it before, or if it's a byproduct of me dropping development for years and only recently playing catch up.

You started this buddy by being a complete dick and jerk to another member here. You can finish it by just saying "I'm sorry -- won't happen again." Not to me, but to the other member. Or you can just sod-off. Until then expect to be treated by me like I see you treating others.

I had an argument with another member (admittedly heated), and we're through that, and that's that. If you don't like that, you can sod-off (follow your own advice).

Contradicting yourself. Typical sign of faulting thinking.

Yeah, you should care. As if you have anything to show yourself. Awards or no awards, doesn't matter. You should care how you interact with others. Be human. Not an animal.
