   class Program {
      public static void Main() {
         unsafe {
            int var = 100;
            int* p = &var;

            Console.WriteLine("Data is: {0} " , var);
            Console.WriteLine("Data is: {0} " , p->ToString());
            Console.WriteLine("Address is: {0} " , (int)p);
         }
         Console.ReadKey();
