System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetComInterfaceForObjectInContext Method

Returns an interface pointer that represents the specified interface for an object, if the caller is in the same context as that object.

Syntax

public static IntPtr GetComInterfaceForObjectInContext (object o, Type t)

Parameters

o
The object that provides the interface.
t
The type of interface that is requested.

Returns

The interface pointer specified by t that represents the interface for the specified object, or null if the caller is not in the same context as the object.

Remarks

This method is the same as Marshal.GetComInterfaceForObject(object, Type) except that it returns null if the caller is not in the same context as the object. It is particularly useful if you have an unmanaged method that expects to be passed an interface pointer.
