You can get the dwSize in C# with sizeof(TYPE) for blittable types or Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(TYPE)) for non-blittable types
IntPtr allocatedBaseAddress = VirtualAllocEx(process.Handle, IntPtr.Zero, buffer.Length, AllocationType.Commit | AllocationType.Reserve, MemoryProtection.ExecuteReadWrite);
The ManagedWindowsApi project (http://mwinapi.sourceforge.net) provides a ProcessMemoryChunk class to allocate and access memory of a different process.
