Tips & Tricks:

Although the parameter ProcessHeaps is declared as out in the MSDN, it is in. How else should the method be able to recieve a buffer?

Please add some!

Sample Code:

IntPtr[] buffer;
uint count = GetProcessHeaps(0, null);
buffer = new IntPtr[count];
GetProcessHeaps(count, buffer);

Please add some!
