Function returns DataTable* from VC++ is an object or a pointer to the object?

[wotan]

I have a VC++ managed class library. A function does return a DataTable*. I use this VC++ class from CSharp. Silly question but does CSharp get the pointer to the DataTable or the whole DataTable Object itsself? Should be the datatable pointer...

Thanks

it is something as pointer, however you don't see it in c#...

C# uses reference(pointer) semantics for all class objects. You don't have variables that "is the object itself". It's always a pointer.

The above doesn't go for types declared as structs, though.
