The LargeBuffer type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	LargeBuffer	Initializes a new instance of the LargeBuffer class with the specified size for the byte array buffer.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Bytes	Gets the byte[] value that is associated with this LargeBuffer object.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Dispose	Disposes the LargeBuffer object and frees the internal buffer that is associated with it.
	Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Performs cleanup operations. (Overrides Object. . :: . .Finalize() () () ().)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

The LargeBuffer item is allocated in a secondary heap. The secondary heap must be supported by the device. This class can be used in conjunction with the LargeBufferMarshaller class to transfer large data items to and from native code.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
