Hello,
I am using VS2005 along with a third part SDK . In that I am having a
function called OpenInterface() which will return a Handle .I think in
VS2005 they replaced Handle with IntPtr. How can I solve this issue. I
require this handle in all functions provided by SDK.
Thanks

What's the exact function prototype and type name?

The problem is we do not know anything about the 'Handle' type the function
is using. Do you have the 'typedef' for the type?

You can try changing the definition from IntPtr to Integer. It works for
many APIs

I want to change from IntPtr to Handle type.
The function I am using has the prototype
Handle OpenInterface()

You can try h = Handle.ToInt32
