One usage of UIntPtr is to represent the platform-specific size_t type. e.g.

public static extern IntPtr MemCopy(byte[] dest, byte[] src, UIntPtr count);

    UIntPtr count = new UIntPtr(2u);

    UIntPtr grfAccessPermissions;

    UIntPtr grfAccessMode;

    UIntPtr grfInheritance;

UIntPtr or IntPtr are needed because they change sizes according to platform. If you need to cast to / from, then must keep the size change in mind.
