SafeHandle.SetHandle(IntPtr) Method

Definition

Sets the handle to the specified pre-existing handle.

C#
protected void SetHandle(IntPtr handle);

Parameters

handle
IntPtr

The pre-existing handle to use.

Remarks

Use the SetHandle method only if you need to support a pre-existing handle (for example, if the handle is returned in a structure) because the .NET Framework COM interop infrastructure does not support marshaling output handles in a structure.
