2. Calls the <xref:System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.AllocHGlobal%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method to allocate the same number of bytes as the unmanaged string occupies. The method returns an <xref:System.IntPtr> object that points to the beginning of the unmanaged block of memory. The Visual Basic example uses this pointer directly; in the C++ and C# examples, it is cast to a pointer to a byte.

3. The Visual Basic example defines a variable named `offset` that is equal to the length of the ANSI string. It is used to determine the offset into unmanaged memory to which the next charter in the ANSI string is copied. Because its starting value is the length of the string, the copy operation will copy a character from the start of the string to the end of the memory block.

The C# and C++ examples call the <xref:System.IntPtr.ToPointer%2A> method to get an unmanaged pointer to the starting address of the string and the unmanaged block of memory, and they add one less than the length of the string to the starting address of the ANSI string. Because the unmanaged string pointer now points to the end of the string, the copy operation will copy a character from the end of the string to the start of the memory block.
