Addressing a variable in VB
- by Jeff
Why doesn't Visual Basic.NET have the addressof operator like C#? In C#, one can
int i = 123;
int* addr = &i;
But VB has no equivalent counter part. It seems like it should be important.
UPDATE Since there's some interest, Im copying my response to Strilanc below.
The case I ran into didnt necessitate
pointers by any means, but I was
trying to trouble shoot a unit test
that was failing and there was some
confusion over whether or not an
object being used at one point in the
stack was the same object as an object
several methods away.
