C# - How to Save IntPtr Buffer Data to File (quickest way)?
Staying within the .NET framework is probably better form than using calls to kernel dlls.
I would use:
private void callback(IntPtr buffer, int length, String filename)
{
try
{
FileStream file = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
UnmanagedMemoryStream ustream = new UnmanagedMemoryStream((byte*)buffer, length);
ustream.CopyTo(file);
ustream.Close();
file.Close();
}
catch{/** To do: catch code **/}
}
Well, it's called "managed" for some reason :-) What you can do though is declare WriteFile using P/Invoke, like this:
private void callback(IntPtr buffer, int length)
{
FileStream file = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
int written;
WriteFile(file.Handle, buffer, length, out written, IntPtr.Zero);
file.Close();
}
[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
private static extern bool WriteFile(IntPtr hFile, IntPtr lpBuffer, int NumberOfBytesToWrite, out int lpNumberOfBytesWritten, IntPtr lpOverlapped);
