WORKAROUNDTo work around this problem, set the in/out attribute to the parameter that you will perform custom marshaling on. After you have set the in/out parameter, call the MarshalNativeToManaged method after the native method is called. Your custom marshaling call must resemble the following: static extern void TestMethod(int outputKind, [In, Out, MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.CustomMarshaler, MarshalTypeRef=typeof(CustomMarshaler))]object data); Note On a computer that is running a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows, you can work around this problem by using only this workaround. However, on a computer that is running a 32-bit version of Windows, you must apply the hotfix package before you use this workaround. STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
