- s
- String
A managed string to be copied.
Returns
nativeint
An integer representing a pointer to the block of memory allocated for the string, or 0 if s is null.
- Attributes
Exceptions
The s parameter exceeds the maximum length allowed by the operating system.
There is insufficient memory available.
Remarks
StringToCoTaskMemUTF8 is useful for custom marshaling or for use when mixing managed and unmanaged code. Because this method allocates the unmanaged memory required for a string including a null terminator, always free the memory by calling Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem. This method provides the opposite functionality of Marshal.PtrToStringUTF8. The characters of the string are copied as UTF-8 characters.
