public static bool ReadProcessMemory(
	IntPtr hProcess,
	UIntPtr baseAddress,
	StringBuilder buffer,
	UIntPtr size,
	ref IntPtr refNumberOfBytesRead
)

Parameters

hProcess  IntPtr
A handle to the process with memory that is being read.

The handle must have PROCESS_VM_READ access to the process.

baseAddress  UIntPtr
A pointer to the base address in the specified process from which to read.

Before any data transfer occurs, the system verifies that all data in the base address and memory of the specified size is accessible for read access, and if it is not accessible the function fails.

buffer  StringBuilder
A pointer to a buffer that receives the contents from the address space of the specified process.
size  UIntPtr
The number of bytes to be read from the specified process.
refNumberOfBytesRead  IntPtr
A pointer to a variable that receives the number of bytes transferred into the specified buffer.

If refNumberOfBytesRead is 0, the parameter is ignored.

Return Value

Boolean
If the function succeeds, otherwise.
