Its been a while, but I plan a couple of posts.<\/p>\n
Firstly, I was recently reminded of a .Net ‘trick’ I learnt from a friend. We recently took this trick to a new level of ‘evil’.<\/p>\n
Strings are immutable right… well sort of.<\/p>\n
string a = “a”;
\n GCHandle handle = GCHandle.Alloc(a, GCHandleType.Pinned);
\n char[] newString = new char[] {‘b’};
\n Marshal.Copy(newString, 0, handle.AddrOfPinnedObject(), 1);
\n Console.Out.WriteLine(a);
\n Console.ReadKey();\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThis program outputs the character b. All without actually using the unsafe keyword. The unsafe APIs already exist there to use. (They all have unmanaged permission link demand on them.)<\/p>\n
Taking things to the next level however, allows for a bit of fun.<\/p>\n
Examples include:
\nEnvironment.NewLine, change it to any two characters of your choice.
\nException messages, cause it once, change it and from then on it says whatever you like.<\/p>\nWith a bit of reflection however, you can do alot of damage. For instance, change every string which can be found by walking the object hierarchy starting from static fields.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
