Marshal.SecureStringToCoTaskMemAnsi(SecureString) Method

Definition

Important

This API is not CLS-compliant.

Copies the contents of a managed SecureString object to a block of memory allocated from the unmanaged COM task allocator.

public:
 static IntPtr SecureStringToCoTaskMemAnsi(System::Security::SecureString ^ s);
public static IntPtr SecureStringToCoTaskMemAnsi (System.Security.SecureString s);
[System.CLSCompliant(false)]
public static IntPtr SecureStringToCoTaskMemAnsi (System.Security.SecureString s);
[System.Security.SecurityCritical]
public static IntPtr SecureStringToCoTaskMemAnsi (System.Security.SecureString s);
static member SecureStringToCoTaskMemAnsi : System.Security.SecureString -> nativeint
[<System.CLSCompliant(false)>]
static member SecureStringToCoTaskMemAnsi : System.Security.SecureString -> nativeint
[<System.Security.SecurityCritical>]
static member SecureStringToCoTaskMemAnsi : System.Security.SecureString -> nativeint
Public Shared Function SecureStringToCoTaskMemAnsi (s As SecureString) As IntPtr

Parameters

s
SecureString

The managed object to copy.

Returns

IntPtr

nativeint

The address, in unmanaged memory, where the s parameter was copied to, or 0 if a null object was supplied.

Attributes

Exceptions

The s parameter is null.

There is insufficient memory available.

Examples

The following example uses the SecureStringToCoTaskMemAnsi method to marshal and decrypt the contents of a SecureString object to a block of unmanaged memory. It then uses the ZeroFreeCoTaskMemAnsi method to zero out and dispose the unmanaged block.

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Security;

class MarshalExample
{
     static void Main()
     {
         IntPtr unmanagedRef = IntPtr.Zero;

          // Ask the user for a password.
          Console.Write("Please enter your password: ");

          SecureString passWord = GetPassword();

          Console.WriteLine("Copying and decrypting the string to unmanaged memory...");

          // Copy the Secure string to unmanaged memory (and decrypt it).
          unmanagedRef = Marshal.SecureStringToCoTaskMemAnsi(passWord);

          if (unmanagedRef != IntPtr.Zero)
          {
              Console.WriteLine("Zeroing out unmanaged memory...");

              Marshal.ZeroFreeCoTaskMemAnsi(unmanagedRef);
          }
          passWord.Dispose();

         Console.WriteLine("Done.");
     }

     public static SecureString GetPassword()
     {
         SecureString password = new SecureString();

         // get the first character of the password
         ConsoleKeyInfo nextKey = Console.ReadKey(true);

         while (nextKey.Key != ConsoleKey.Enter)

                 if (password.Length > 0)
                 {
                     password.RemoveAt(password.Length - 1);

                     // erase the last * as well
                     Console.Write(nextKey.KeyChar);

             }

             nextKey = Console.ReadKey(true);
         }

Remarks

The SecureStringToCoTaskMemAnsi method is useful for custom marshaling or when mixing managed and unmanaged code. Because this method allocates the unmanaged memory required for a string, always free the memory by calling ZeroFreeCoTaskMemAnsi. The characters of the string are copied as ANSI characters.
