No there is no equivalent in .NET of these methods.

What are you trying to achieve? And perhaps we could suggest alternatives.

Tip: If you want to find alternatives for Win32 methods in the .NET Framework, check out the Microsoft Win32 to Microsoft .NET Framework API Map:

Although beware that it hasn't been updated for 2.0 as of yet.

If you are going to be using Win32 from .NET then take a look at this website:
http://www.pinvoke.net/

It has loads of samples and ready to use snippets.

Havoc,

There are no equivalents in the .NET framework for these APIs. You will have to call them through the P/Invoke layer in order to call them. A great resource for finding declarations for Win32 APIs is:

http://www.pinvoke.net

I've searched for both ReadProcessMemory and WriteProcessMemory and they are both there.

Hope this helps.
