implicit convertion to IntPtr from SafeHandle

[NN---]

I don't think this is a good idea to have such implicit conversion.
It may lead to hard finding bugs.
The better option is to use SafeHandle instead of IntPtr.

Vanara/Core/InteropServices/GenericSafeHandle.cs

Line 41 in b9f2b15

public static implicit operator IntPtr(GenericSafeHandle h) => h.DangerousGetHandle();

I hadn't considered that approach, but I like it. Let me look at what would break if I refactored everything that way.

Turned out it wasn't so hard. Thanks for the suggestion. Code has been updated to make that operator explicit and I've updated affected functions.

Why not removing cast as .NET framework does.
The name DangerousGetHandle is what people are used to and for a good reason this is named so.

[dahall]

Well, basically because I'm lazy and it would entail too many changes. Sorry.

If you remove implicit cast it is already a breaking change.
So better to remove the explicit too.
Perhaps you need to bump major version of the package.
