C# Signature:

[DllImport("Kernel32.dll", EntryPoint="RtlMoveMemory", SetLastError=false)]
static extern void MoveMemory(IntPtr dest, IntPtr src, int size);

VB Signature:

Declare Auto Sub MoveMemory Lib "Kernel32.dll" _
    Alias "RtlMoveMemory" (ByVal dest As IntPtr, ByVal src As IntPtr, ByVal size As Integer)

VBA Signature:

Private Declare PtrSafe Function MoveMemory Lib "KERNEL32.dll" _
    Alias "RtlMoveMemory" (ByVal dest As LongPtr, ByVal src As LongPtr, ByVal size As Integer)

User-Defined Types:

None.

Alternative Managed API:

Use Marshal.Copy() twice to move from the unmanaged heap into a managed array and back out. Not ideal.

Tips & Tricks:

Please add some!

Sample Code:

<DllImport("kernel32.dll", EntryPoint:="RtlMoveMemory", SetLastError:=True, CharSet:=CharSet.Auto, ExactSpelling:=True, CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.StdCall)> _

Public Shared Sub CopyArrayTo(<[In](), MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.I4)> ByVal hpvDest As Int32, <[In](), Out()> ByVal hpvSource() As Byte, ByVal cbCopy As Integer)
