Methods

Add<T>(T, Int32)

Adds an element offset to the given reference.
Add<T>(T, IntPtr)

Adds an element offset to the given reference.
Add<T>(Void*, Int32)

Adds an element offset to the given void pointer.
AddByteOffset<T>(T, IntPtr)

Adds a byte offset to the given reference.
AreSame<T>(T, T)

Determines whether the specified references point to the same location.
As<T>(Object)

Casts the given object to the specified type.
As<TFrom,TTo>(TFrom)

Reinterprets the given reference as a reference to a value of type TTo.
AsPointer<T>(T)

Returns a pointer to the given by-ref parameter.
AsRef<T>(T)

Reinterprets the given read-only reference as a reference.
AsRef<T>(Void*)

Reinterprets the given location as a reference to a value of type T.
ByteOffset<T>(T, T)

Determines the byte offset from origin to target from the given references.
