    i need to know of a way to make other variables pointers in vb.net. Is there anyway to do this. I know in 6.0 you could use the strptr or objptr or varptr. I need to know how to do this same function in .net.

      Everything is a pointer (now called a reference) in .NET except for value-types (things like integers, booleans, floating point numbers, and so on). I don't know how you would get a pointer in VB.NET, although you can do it in C# by creating some unsafe code - but VB.NET doesn't support the unsafe context.
