Remarks
Like Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem and Marshal.FreeHGlobal, you can use this method to deallocate memory. FreeBSTR calls the COM SysFreeString function, which frees memory allocated by any of the following unmanaged methods: SysAllocString
, SysAllocStringByteLen
, SysAllocStringLen
, SysReAllocString
, SysReAllocStringLen
. You can call unmanaged methods such as these with platform invoke. For details, see Consuming Unmanaged DLL Functions.
