Radnor,

You were on the right track. The program was running as administrator so the "Access denied" was confusing me as well. The SafeFileHandle was created like this ...

using (dd = new FileStream(path + ".dd", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Write))
{
bool finished = NativeMethods.GetSparseRange(ldd.SafeFileHandle, query, ref response, 1024);

}

So when the DeviceIoControl was called the file was empty which for some reason caused the return code 5.

Changing the FileStream creation for an existing file stopped the error.

However now I get an 0x00000057 error, parameter error which brings me back to the original question as how to pass an array of structures to DeviceIoControl.

This is what I've tried, the output buffer is the issue I think....

public static bool GetSparseRange(SafeFileHandle hdrive, in FILE_ALLOCATED_RANGE_BUFFER query, ref FILE_ALLOCATED_RANGE_BUFFER[] response, int count)
{
    int nInBufferSize = (int)Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(FILE_ALLOCATED_RANGE_BUFFER));
    IntPtr lpInBuffer = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(nInBufferSize);
    Marshal.StructureToPtr(query, lpInBuffer, true);
    uint bytesread=0;

    int nOutBufferSize = nInBufferSize * count;
    IntPtr lpOutBuffer = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(nOutBufferSize);

    //IntPtr[] ptrArr = new IntPtr[count];
    //for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i)
    //{
    //    ptrArr[i] = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(FILE_ALLOCATED_RANGE_BUFFER)));
    //    Marshal.StructureToPtr(response[i], ptrArr[i], true);
    //}
    bool rc = DeviceIoControl(
        hdrive,                                                     // device to be queried
        (uint)EIOControlCode.FsctlQueryAllocatedRanges,             // operation to perform
        lpInBuffer, (uint)nInBufferSize,                         // input buffer
        lpOutBuffer, (uint)nOutBufferSize,
        //ptrArr, (uint)(nInBufferSize * count),                   // output buffer
        ref bytesread,                                          // # bytes returned
        IntPtr.Zero);                                               // synchronous I/O
    // Get the last error and display it.
    int error = Marshal.GetLastWin32Error();
    Marshal.PtrToStructure(lpOutBuffer, response);
    //for (int j = 0; j < count / nInBufferSize; ++j)
    //{
    //    if (j < bytesread / nInBufferSize)
    //        Marshal.PtrToStructure(ptrArr[j], response[j]);
    //    Marshal.FreeHGlobal(ptrArr[j]);
    //}
    Marshal.FreeHGlobal(lpInBuffer);
    Marshal.FreeHGlobal(lpOutBuffer);
    return rc;
}


Thanks
