ref or out parameter in delegate, declared in C++

Hello,

I am trying to declare in C++ and use in C# a delegate which contains
"ref" and "out" parameters.

I declare a delegate as:

public __delegate void SolFSCreateFile Event(SolFSStor age* Sender,
System::String* FileName, Handle &File, bool Overwrite, bool
IsJournalFile, Error &Result);

(I also tried "[Out] Error* Result" and Error* Result, no luck).

In C# I declare a method:

public void OnCreateFile(So lFSStorage Sender, String FileName, ref UInt32
File, bool Overwrite, bool IsJournalFile, ref int Result)

and try to create an instance as

new SolFSCreateFile Event(OnCreateF ile)

What I get is compiler error:

Method 'SolFSExplorer. MainForm.OnCrea teFile(SolFS.So lFSStorage, string,
ref uint, bool, bool, ref int)' does not match delegate 'void
SolFS.SolFSCrea teFileEvent(Sol FS.SolFSStorage , string, uint*, bool,
bool, int*)'
If I change C# declaration to

public void OnCreateFile(So lFSStorage Sender, String FileName, UInt32
*File, bool Overwrite, bool IsJournalFile, int *Result)

then the previous error disappears but another one appears, saying that
* is only allowed in unsafe context (sounds reasonable <g>).

What can be a solution besides declaring CreateFileEvent Args helper
class and passing it as a single parameter?

Free copy of SolFS (http://www.eldos.org/solfs/solfs.html) to be given
to first person who knows a solution.

Sincerely yours,

Eugene,

The solution is to declare the delegate as follows:

public __delegate void SolFSCreateFile Event(
SolFSStorage* Sender,
System::String* FileName,
System::UInt32 __gc * File,
bool Overwrite,
bool IsJournalFile,
System::Int32 __gc * Result);

A C# ref parameter corresponds to a C++ managed pointer to a value type.

Have I won? :-)

Greetings

Bart Jacobs

public __delegate void SolFSCreateFile Event(SolFSStor age* Sender,
System::String* FileName, System::Int32 __gc * File, bool Overwrite,
bool IsJournalFile, System::Int32 __gc * Result);

Looks like the same, right (except File parameter type, but this doesn't
matter)? Here's what I get from compiler:

c:\Projects\Sol FS\DotNet\DotNe t.h(35): error C2144: syntax error : 'int'
should be preceded by ','
c:\Projects\Sol FS\DotNet\DotNe t.h(35): error C2501: 'Result' : missing
storage-class or type specifiers
c:\Projects\Sol FS\DotNet\DotNe t.h(36): fatal error C1903: unable to
recover from previous error(s); stopping compilation

(correction from e-mail) caret is on the first position of the line, not
indicating the exact error, but removing the last parameter (Result)
doesn't help.

This is about the above line. Any ideas? If I remove __gc, the error is the
same. So this must be something with System::Int32? But why is
System::String ok then?

Sincerely yours,
Eugene Mayevski

Must be public __delegate void SolFSCreateFile Event(SolFSStor age*
Sender, System::String* FileName, UInt32 __gc &FileHandle, bool
Overwrite, bool IsJournalFile, Int32 __gc &Result);

But as your tip really helped, please contact me for the license and
give me the name and e-mail for registration record.

I found out that if you subscribe to or unsubscribe from an event in the method that gets event handler as a parameter, it does not work as expected. If the event is declared as event MyEventHandler myEventHandler; you can subscribe to the event, using the construction myEventHandler += subscriber; but you cannot do the same by sending event handler as a parameter to a method of the same class.
