Ah, very interesting. I assume this increases the ref count which 
assures that the object won't get collected until after the native code 
returns. Is that right?

Also, to pass the person struct IntPtr from C# to C, which is 
recommended; pass it as a parameter, or use mono_runtime_invoke to pull 
it out of the property? I would assume that passing it as a parameter is 
quicker since it saves a function call.


Thanks for your help, it's quite an eye opener.
