 ## Remarks
  The delegate `d` is converted to a function pointer that can be passed to unmanaged code using [the default platform calling convention](/dotnet/standard/native-interop/calling-conventions#platform-default-calling-convention). You can set the calling convention by applying the <xref:System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedFunctionPointerAttribute> to the delegate.
 
- You must manually keep the delegate from being collected by the garbage collector from managed code. The garbage collector does not track references to unmanaged code.
+ You must manually keep the delegate from being collected by the garbage collector from managed code. The garbage collector does not track references to unmanaged code. Use <xref:System.GC.KeepAlive%2A> to prevent the delegate from being collected before the native call completes:
+
+ ```csharp
+ var callback = new MyNativeCallback(MyManagedMethod);
+ IntPtr fnPtr = Marshal.GetFunctionPointerForDelegate(callback);
+ NativeMethod(fnPtr);
+ GC.KeepAlive(callback); // Prevent collection — fnPtr does not root the delegate.
+ ```
+
+ If native code stores the function pointer beyond the duration of the call, root the delegate for its entire lifetime — for example, by storing it in a `static` field.
 
  This API is unsupported in environments that don't support dynamic entry-point allocation, such as `ProcessDynamicCodePolicy` on Windows, `execmem off` in SELinux, and WebAssembly.
