I have the following problem: public class ListenThread : SocketInvoke { [DllImport("Ws2_32", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)] public unsafe static extern UInt32 WSAWaitForMultipleEvents(UInt32 cEvents, IntPtr hEventObject, UInt32 fWaitAll, UInt32 dwTimeout, Boolean fAlertable); public void ListenConnections(NetSharedData data) { while (true) { unsafe { if (WSAWaitForMultipleEvents((UInt32)1, data.signal, (UInt32)0, (UInt32)100, false) != WSA_WAIT_TIMEOUT) { } } } } data.signal is a UInt32 how i can cast it to IntPtr?, i try: IntPtr signal = (IntPtr)data.signal; but it doesn't work because i need a pointer to data.signal (UInt32) type and not the int value as an pointer, that will make a memory exception. An C++ example of what i need: int signal = 0; int* psignal = &signal;
