 Thus PtrToStructure can and should work with structures because it 
 expects an object so it will get a boxed structure that can be 
 modified.

+Kornel, I am not quite sure what you are saying. From the MSDN docs,
+and from the test case it appears that PtrToStructure has to overloads
+that behave differently. One allows for structures or formatted
+classes, the other only allows for formatted classes (not a boxed
+value type). If you are saying something else, sorry.
+
+We are currently using the overload that only allows for formatted
+classes in SD. This actually seems to be correct as the MS ToLogFont
+only worked for me when I used a formatted class to describe the
+LOGFONT structure, not when I used a managed struct.
