Shared Memory, write to file

I have TXT file in shard memory. The code is at the end. I've been attempting to get it out of the memory and write to a file in the C:\ drive.

But i get a error:

    Type 'SharedMemSaveToFile.SharedMemSaver+Data' cannot be marshaled as an 
unmanaged structure; no meaningful size or offset can be computed.

If i change the code to write the Memory the CMD, it works, so i know the memory is there. I've also tried using these to write the TXT:

 System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter("c:\\file.txt");
 file.WriteLine(d);

and:

using (StreamWriter outfile = new StreamWriter(d + @"C:\\file.txt"))
{
     outfile.Write(sb.ToString());
}

and:

StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("file.txt");
    sw.Write(d);
    sw.Close();

Thanks!

            sf.OpenView();
            String d = sf.GetData();
            System.IO.File.WriteAllText(@"C:\file.txt", d);

        }
    }

I would strongly recommend to use the built-in MemoryMappedFile class (new in .NET 4).

See Yahia's answer for the solution.

But trying to fix your code, the error message says all:
What are you trying to get with Marshal.SizeOf((Type)typeof(Data))?
It has no size, because it holds not data. Looking at the MSDN doc. of MapViewOfFile's last parameter, "If this parameter is 0 (zero), the mapping extends from the specified offset to the end of the file mapping."
