I was wondering the applications and scenarios that EncodePointer()/DecodePointer() can actually be used?

the most I have found on it is https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...-decodepointer and of course the MSDN for it...

What does EncoderPointer actually prevent? when should it be used? and how effective is it?

If you can, provide a scenario that it can be used for?


Sincerely, Semaph0re.
