Is there a way in VB.Net to declare a local variable that will manipulate an
array element .... kind of like an item pointer to a global array?

Can't you just access the array directly?

I am using a thread pool.  When executing the callback, I was having trouble
getting the correct context information.  I wrapped the array in a class &
am using a "key" to find the right structure context structure I need.

The reference types seemed to act weirdly in the thread callbacks.  The
Classed wrapper seems to be fixing my problem ...

I didn't want to update directly ... its an array list of structures.  The
syntax to get & update the right elements is very messy & doesn't actually
work correctly in Vb.Net.  (see my other post, late binding problems).
