C# Definitions

For calling:

    //      but they are not tagged [retval] in the IDL, so for consitency's sake...

    void UnlockRegion(long libOffset, long cb, int dwLockType);

For implementing:

    //      This means some caller could pass a null pointer instead

    void WriteAt(long ulOffset, System.IntPtr pv, int cb, System.IntPtr pcbWritten);
    void Flush();
    void SetSize(long cb);
    //Just ThrowExceptionForHR(STG_E_INVALIDFUNCTION) if locking is not supported.
    //Define it as a constant with the value unchecked((int)0x80030001u)

None.

// read a chunk from the ILockBytes object
public int ReadAt(long offset, byte[] buffer, int bufferSize)
