insure msvbvm60.dll is installed and Try This

Private Declare Function VarPtr Lib "msvbvm60.dll" Alias "VarPtr" (ByVal lpObject As String) As Integer

Function StrPtr(ByVal x As String) As Integer
    Return VarPtr(x)
End Function

Or see:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/vb/Marshal.aspx

it explain code like:

VB.NET

' dim managed variable

Dim MyString As String = "Adnan Samuel"
 ' pin variable and create

' GC handle instance

Dim gh As GCHandle = GCHandle.Alloc (MyString, GCHandleType.Pinned)
 ' get address of variable

Dim AddrOfMyString As IntPtr = gh.AddrOfPinnedObject()
 Console.WriteLine (AddrOfMyString.ToString())
 ' free the handle and unpin variable

gh.Free()
