Hi,

I see that GCHandle can encapsulate a weak reference, but gcroot appears to
only allow 'normal' GCHandles. Is this correct or is there something I've
missed?

Ta,

Steve

It's not surprising, given the main use of gcroot. However, it should be
fairly trivial to write an implementation of it that supports other types of
handles (although, in that case, there are a few overloaded operators I'd
avoid...)

OK, cheers, think I've worked around it. You're right - supporting other
types wouldn't be that hard - but I've a great talent for writing
hard-to-find pointer bugs.

Cheers,

Steve
