Does the following code cause a memory leak in .NET?

Void Function1()
{
hFile= CreateFile(static_cast<const char
*>(Marshal::StringToHGlobalAnsi(s).ToPointer()),
GENERIC_WRITE,
0,
NULL,
CREATE_ALWAYS,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
NULL);

}
The part that I am concerned about here is the
Marshal::StringToHGlobalAnsi. When is the const char * destroyed or
is it?

Thanks

Hi Dlanor,

No. But it does create a memory leak in the unmanaged world.

Please use FreeHGlobal() to free the string again..
