Question

Im trying to fool around with Windows’s Minesweeper, getting how many bombs left and such.

Got this up and working:

public static byte[] ReadBytes(IntPtr memoryAddress, uint bytesToRead, out int bytesReaded)
{
    byte[] buffer = new byte[bytesToRead];

    IntPtr ptrBytesReaded;
    ReadProcessMemory(process, memoryAddress, buffer, bytesToRead, out ptrBytesReaded);

    bytesReaded = ptrBytesReaded.ToInt32();

    return buffer;
}

But I need some help, how do I read a int and a string? Guess i pass the size of a int to the function? what about string?

thanks 🙂

I think you have read the Code Project article how to patch minesweeper from Arik Poznanski. Your code is copied from that article.

How to read a int is shown there. If you know the address of the string you can use the string constructor which takes a void * as argument when you use unsafe code. That is the easiest way.

But you should read the article completeley before asking questions which are already answered by the really good writeup.
