How to get IntPtr from byte[] in C#

Another way,

GCHandle pinnedArray = GCHandle.Alloc(byteArray, GCHandleType.Pinned);
IntPtr pointer = pinnedArray.AddrOfPinnedObject();
// Do your stuff...
pinnedArray.Free();

This should work but must be used within an unsafe context:

byte[] buffer = new byte[255];
fixed (byte* p = buffer)
{
    IntPtr ptr = (IntPtr)p;
    // do you stuff here
}

beware, you have to use the pointer in the fixed block! The gc can move the object once you are not anymore in the fixed block.

Not sure about getting an IntPtr to an array, but you can copy the data for use with unmanaged code by using Mashal.Copy:

IntPtr unmanagedPointer = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(bytes.Length);
Marshal.Copy(bytes, 0, unmanagedPointer, bytes.Length);
// Call unmanaged code
Marshal.FreeHGlobal(unmanagedPointer);

Alternatively you could declare a struct with one property and then use Marshal.PtrToStructure, but that would still require allocating unmanaged memory.

Edit: Also, as Tyalis pointed out, you can also use fixed if unsafe code is an option for you

In some cases you can use an Int32 type (or Int64) in case of the IntPtr. If you can, another useful class is BitConverter. For what you want you could use BitConverter.ToInt32 for example.
