[Gtk-sharp-list] Marshaling a byte[] for a pixbuf

[Miguel de Icaza]

Hello,

You could create the Pixbuf on the unmanaged side, and use the raw
constructor: 'Pixbuf (IntPtr raw)'

When transferring data from managed to unmanaged code, you want to avoid
using the marshaller (specially with large images which is what you are
going to be dealing with).

So any other mechanism like passing a pointer to the data is preferred
over passing the actual data.
