IntPtr.Zero Field

Definition

A read-only field that represents a signed integer that has been initialized to zero.

public: static initonly IntPtr Zero;
public static readonly IntPtr Zero;
 staticval mutable Zero : nativeint
Public Shared ReadOnly Zero As IntPtr 

Field Value

IntPtr

nativeint

Remarks

The value of this field is not equivalent to null. Use this field to efficiently determine whether an instance of IntPtr has been set to a value other than zero.

For example, assume the variable, ip, is an instance of IntPtr. You can determine if it has been set by comparing it to the value returned by a constructor, for example: " if ip != new IntPtr(0)... ". However, invoking a constructor to get an uninitialized pointer is inefficient. It is better to code either " if ip != IntPtr.Zero... ", or " if !IntPtr.Zero.Equals(ip)... ".

When calling the Windows API from managed code, you can pass IntPtr.Zero instead of null if an argument is expected to be either a pointer or a null. For example, the following call to the Windows CreateFile function supplies IntPtr.Zero for the pSecurityAttributes and hTemplateFile argument values.

Note

Although Zero is equivalent to null for Windows API functions with parameters or return values that can be either pointers or null, Zero is not equivalent to null. Passing null to the IntPtr.Zero.Equals method always returns false.

You can also test for a null return value from Windows API function calls that return either a pointer or a null by comparing the returned value with IntPtr.Zero. For example, the call to the GetWindow function in the following example tries to retrieve the handle of a non-existent window. If it were called from unmanaged code, the function would return null, but when it is called from managed code, it returns IntPtr.Zero.

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

public class Example
{
   private const int GW_OWNER = 4;

   [DllImport("user32", CharSet=CharSet.Auto, SetLastError=true, ExactSpelling=true)]
   public static extern IntPtr GetWindow(IntPtr hwnd, int wFlag);

   public static void Main()
   {
      IntPtr hwnd = new IntPtr(3);
      IntPtr hOwner = GetWindow(hwnd, GW_OWNER);
      if (hOwner == IntPtr.Zero)
         Console.WriteLine("Window not found.");
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//        Window not found.
open System
open System.Runtime.InteropServices

let GW_OWNER = 4

[<DllImport("user32", CharSet=CharSet.Auto, SetLastError=true, ExactSpelling=true)>]
extern IntPtr GetWindow(nativeint hwnd, int wFlag)

let hwnd = IntPtr 3
let hOwner = GetWindow(hwnd, GW_OWNER)
if hOwner = IntPtr.Zero then
    printfn "Window not found."

// The example displays the following output:
//        Window not found.
Module Example
   Private Const GW_OWNER As Integer = 4

   Private Declare Function GetWindow Lib "user32" (hWnd As IntPtr, 
                            wFlag As Integer) As IntPtr 

   Public Sub Main()
      Dim hwnd = new IntPtr(3)
      Dim hOwner As IntPtr = GetWindow(hwnd, GW_OWNER)
      If hOwner = IntPtr.Zero Then
         Console.WriteLine("Window not found.")
      End If   
   End Sub
End Module
