You can cast to IntPtr before casting to void *:

void *t2 = (void*) (IntPtr) handle;

Also, what's the use-case scenario here? Why do you need a void *?

[mattleibow]

My use case was that I have a C++ API that wanted the handle to a Metal texture. I could use IntPtr on that, but right now my generator outputs void*. This is not a hard technical requirement, but not having to do anything is way better than doing something :)
