Heres the language specs on how C# allocates memory:

Are you trying to perform your own memory allocation/deallocation in .Net, or are you using java or pure C/C++ and youre just asking about it here?

 

[Abudahim]

thats what I want but in VB.NET .
THANKS

VB.Net doesnt give you direct access to pointers in the language - what are you trying to do that requires pointers?

 

[Abudahim]

Just for learning purpose.
but I dont understand "direct access to pointers" . what will be the difference if I can access directly to the memory ?

Youd probably be better served to use something like C/C++ outside of .Net. There used to be a fairly cheap Borland C compiler that I picked up in college (think it ran me like $40).

That way, youll be responsible for everything - memory allocation, stacks, pointers all that good stuff, without .Net taking those liberties for you.
