[C#][Patch Independant] Getting the IDirect3DDevice9 Pointer

[wanyancan]

Yes, it can be hooked. As I just change the real device's Vtable entry to Endscene to mine, I need to know the real devicePtr. It all depends how to 'hook'. Probably I'll directly modify the real Endscene in d3d9.dll to jmp to mine and jmp back by writing some assembly codes there. Is this what you mean by 'hook'?

Not to hi-jack the thread, but can I ask why you always use 'var' instead of an explicit type?

'var' is an explicit type. The type is inferred at compile-time, it basically serves as shorthand for making cleaner code where the type is going to be obvious.

ex:

string myString = "hi";
vs
var myString = "hi";

ref: var (C# Reference)

'var' is actually an anonymous type declaration. (It's more often used as shorthand though)

Example;

var person = new {FirstName="Bob", LastName="Hope"};
// do some stuff...
Console.WriteLine(person.FirstName + " " + person.LastName + " is old.");

Notice, I never declared a struct or class to hold the First/LastName vars. Hence the usefulness of anonymous types.

var...some people love it, others hate it.

Why would var be a bad thing? - Stack Overflow
