Q: Referencing a 'managed' .NET array from within a COM component

Suppose we create an array within some managed .NET code, e.g. C#

int[] myData = new int[10];

And suppose we have a COM component with the following interface method [as defined within an IDL file]:

HRESULT SetData([in] VARIANT* pData);

Now suppose from with in the managed code we call this COM component's SetData method:

object data = myData

COMComponent.SetData(ref data);

Is there a way to pass a handle to the managed myData to the unmanaged COM component, via Interop, without copying the data? I.e. is there a way the COM component can directly reference the managed memory? Is there a way of safely allowing the COM component to keep a reference to the data, for future access? The COM component would not modify the values in this array, i.e. it would purely be for read only access.

Marshal.Copy Method - 

Copies data from a managed array to an unmanaged memory pointer.
