CopyMemory with Visual Basic Express 2005

[iNsaNe]

In Visual Basic Express 2005,  declaring a parameter as 'Any' isn't allowed. How could I change this declaration..

Code Select Expand

Public Declare Sub CopyMemory Lib "kernel32" Alias "RtlMoveMemory" (ByRef Destination As Any, ByRef Source As Any, ByVal numbytes As Long)

Never used 2005 but try this:

Public Declare Sub CopyMemory Lib "KERNEL32" Alias "RtlMoveMemory" (ByRef Destination As Object, ByRef Source As Object, ByVal Length As Short)

I'm kind of noob to this.. what would CopyMemoryToInt and CopyMemoryToStr be used for instead of just using CopyMemory

Look at the declarations of both and figure it out.

EDIT: In order to help you understand this, it's because in C++, the function is declared as memcpy(void*, const void*, size_t) so in VB noob terms: take void as something like Any in VB... but since VB.NET doesn't have Any, you have to specify which type of variable you'd like to copy into instead of just "Any variable I want at the time".
