GetSharedHandle() and Access Violation

1

Hello,

Just had a quick question about GetSharedHandle. As far as I can tell, it should be readable from another program using OpenSharedResource.

I’m using MonoGame as my platform and sending the rendered image to OpenVR via their Submit() function. This passes a Texture_t object with a handle as the parameter. I presume that this handle is just a DX11 shared handle that OpenVR will read and send to the HMD.

When the handle is set to anything other than zero, my p/invoke call to the OpenVR API is causing an access violation. I presume this is something to do with the shared memory between the MonoGame render target and OpenVR attempting to access it. I would have thought that calling an API with the shared resource as a pointer should work fine, but it’s not working for me at present.

Anyone have any ideas?

Just to test, and share the code, this also causes an Access Violation.

IntPtr Store = renderTarget.GetSharedHandle();
Byte b = Marshal.ReadByte(Store);
