Class CStringHandle
- Namespace
- Ubiquity.NET.InteropHelpers

- Ubiquity.NET.InteropHelpers.dll
Abstract base class for types that represents a native string
public abstract class CStringHandle : SafeHandle, IDisposable, IEquatable<CStringHandle>- Inheritance
-
CStringHandle
- Implements
- Inherited Members
Remarks
This base class provides most of the functionality for a string pointer except the disposal/release of the string (if Any). That is left to derived types to provide the specific operation to release the pointer. In particular this provides a simple copy by value marshalling and there is no copy made nor any marshalling to managed code overhead until ToString() is called. In particular, ReadOnlySpan will NOT make a managed copy. The returned span is to the original unmanaged memory.
Constructors
- CStringHandle()
Initializes a new instance of the CStringHandle class.
- CStringHandle(byte*)
Initializes a new instance of the CStringHandle class.
- CStringHandle(nint)
Initializes a new instance of the CStringHandle class.
Properties
- IsInvalid
When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether the handle value is invalid.
- ReadOnlySpan
Gets a readonly span for the data in this string
Methods
- Equals(object?)
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
- Equals(ReadOnlySpan<byte>)
Tests if the span of characters for this string is identical to the provided span
- Equals(CStringHandle?)
Indicates whether the current object is equal to another object of the same type.
- GetHashCode()
Serves as the default hash function.
- GetHashCode(StringComparison)
Returns the hash code for this string using the specified rules.
- ToString()
Converts the underlying string pointer into a managed string
