Hi, Thanks for such a prompt response. the solution sounds kind of complicated. well,actually i just want a function that can allocate memory, like new that i can call in a C# program. Isnt there any other way to do it. say as pointed out by you in the first option- if i want to have a method instead of another instruction, what would the changes involve. it might be a lot simpler than this?
