Hi All,

I am working with clipboard. It stores data pointed to by using a void 
pointer. I have a managed object of a complext structrue containing native 
data (e.g. int, long) as well as objects of my own class and arrays of 
objects, pointers to objects etc. How to marshal that structure to unmanaged 
memory so I can store it in clipboard as binary object. Is there any other 
way to do this.

Thanks
Asif

Create an unmanaged IStream interface backed by a block of global unmanaged 
memory(e.g, CreateStreamOnHGlobal).

Use the IStream methods to copy your complex structures from managed memory 
and then place the IStream interface pointer on the clipboard via the 
IDataObject interface.
