Ideally either the vendor worries about this or there would be a vendor function for deallocating the memory. If not, you need to know how the vendor allocated the memory. For example, if the vendor allocated the memory using LocalAlloc in kernel32.dll then you could free the memory using Marshal.FreeHGlobal(IntPtr). Similarly, if the COM memory allocator CoTaskMemAlloc was used then Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(IntPtr) would be used to free the memory. So check the documentation and proceed accordingly.

For reference, here's a nice MSDN article about memory allocation models.
