The <xref:System.IntPtr> type is designed to be an integer whose size is platform-specific. That is, an instance of this type is expected to be 32-bits on 32-bit hardware and operating systems, and 64-bits on 64-bit hardware and operating systems.

The <xref:System.IntPtr> type can be used by languages that support pointers and as a common means of referring to data between languages that do and do not support pointers.
The <xref:System.IntPtr> type can be used by languages that support pointers and as a common means of referring to data when using languages that do and do not support pointers.

<xref:System.IntPtr> objects can also be used to hold handles. For example, instances of <xref:System.IntPtr> are used extensively in the <xref:System.IO.FileStream?displayProperty=nameWithType> class to hold file handles.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> The <xref:System.IntPtr> type is CLS-compliant, while the <xref:System.UIntPtr> type is not. Only the <xref:System.IntPtr> type is used in the common language runtime. The <xref:System.UIntPtr> type is provided mostly to maintain architectural symmetry with the <xref:System.IntPtr> type.

This type implements the <xref:System.Runtime.Serialization.ISerializable>, and, in .NET 5.0 and later, the <xref:System.IFormattable> interfaces.
