IntPtr

Hello everyone,


Two questions about IntPtr,

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...tr(VS.80).aspx

1. does it mean in the internal SDK API implementation System.IO.FileStream, IntPtr is used to hold the native file handle?

2. when do we need to use IntPtr? We have easy to use class like StreamWriter, when and why do we need to use IntPtr?


thanks in advance,
George
