C# memory address and variable

Question

in C#, is there a way to

1. Get the memory address stored in a reference type variable?
2. Get the memory address of a variable?

EDIT:

Answer 1

Number 1 is not possible at all, you can't have a pointer to a managed object. However, you can use an IntPtr structure to get information about the address of the pointer in the reference:

GCHandle handle = GCHandle.Alloc(str, GCHandleType.Pinned);
IntPtr pointer = GCHandle.ToIntPtr(handle);
string pointerDisplay = pointer.ToString();
handle.Free();

For number 2 you use the & operator:

int* p = &myIntVariable;

Pointers of course have to be done in a unsafe block, and you have to allow unsafe code in the project settings. If the variable is a local variable in a method, it's allocated on the stack so it's already fixed, but if the variable is a member of an object, you have to pin that object in memory using the fixed keyword so that it's not moved by the garbage collector.
