How can an UIntPtr object be converted to IntPtr in C#?

Question

I need to convert an UIntPtr object to that of IntPtr in my C# .NET 2.0 application. How can this be accomplished? I don't suppose it's as simple as this:

UIntPtr _myUIntPtr = /* Some initializer value. */
object _myObject = (object)_myUIntPtr;
IntPtr _myIntPtr = (IntPtr)_myObject;

Answer 1

This should work on x86 and x64

IntPtr intPtr = unchecked((IntPtr)(long)(ulong)uintPtr);
