The SafeFileHandle was created like this ...

using (dd = new FileStream(path + ".dd", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Write))

f.SetLength(10240);

f.Write(new byte[] { (byte)'H', (byte)'e', (byte)'l', (byte)'l', (byte)'o' }, 0, 5);  //Added by Bob

int error = Marshal.GetLastWin32Error();

Marshal.PtrToStructure(lpOutBuffer, response);  //Added by Bob
