[.MSIL Reversing] Damn pointer instructions...

Zarathos

Hi all! Hope it's not a problem if I ask something about IL instructions in a forum about .NET languages, but I really need some help fixing a problem.

I'm trying to reverse those instructions...
[code]ldloc.s texturedRef
conv.i
ldloc.s num11
ldloc.1
mul
ldloc.s num12
add
conv.i
sizeof [Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D]Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.CustomVertex/TransformedColoredTextured
mul
add
conv.u
stloc.s texturedPtr[/code]

My best try is:
[code]CustomVertex.TransformedColoredTextured* texturedPtr = (CustomVertex.TransformedColoredTextured*)((byte)(texturedRef + ((k * num2) + m)));[/code]
Buy I obviously get something like that:
[code]ldloc.s texturedRef
conv.i
ldloc.s num11
ldloc.1
mul
ldloc.s num12
add
conv.i
sizeof [Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D]Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.CustomVertex/TransformedColoredTextured
mul
add
conv.u4 <--------------- Difference
conv.u
stloc.s texturedPtr[/code]

If I compile this line removing the (byte) boxing, like that:
[code]CustomVertex.TransformedColoredTextured* texturedPtr = (CustomVertex.TransformedColoredTextured*)(texturedRef + ((k * num2) + m));[/code]
I get those instructions (without final conv):
[code]ldloc.s texturedRef
conv.i
ldloc.s num11
ldloc.1
mul
ldloc.s num12
add
conv.i
sizeof [Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D]Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.CustomVertex/TransformedColoredTextured
mul
add
stloc.s texturedPtr[/code]

Those differences are making texture rendering process very very slow... with .NET Reflector Reflexil I injected the correct instructions and all is working fine, then I need to find a way to get rid of this megind difference. Well... I can't get a stand alone "conv.u". Any ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance!
