Passing string array to unmanaged code

Hi ,

I want to pass a string array to an unmanaged COM Componet. The component
should retrieve it. Pls help me to understand with a sample code. I have
declared a BSTR* myStringarr, for this in the COM component. How to
retrieve values from this myStringarr?

Hi, I seem to be having a problem I can't quite figure out. Currently, I have the following code (below). In the SendMsg function, I create a 'Qtkmsg' which converts the string 'text' into a null terminated character array that is sent through the DllImport interface 'QtkSendMesg'. However, when I receive this struct in the C++ DLL, the character array that I passed to it is filled with random characters. What am I doing wrong when...

I'm wrapping some unmanaged C++ classes with managed versions for use in the ..NET world. Everything is going great except I can't figure out a good method for passing simple data type arrays into unmanaged classes. Say I have a function void UnManagedClass::FillOutArray(int size, int* data); where data is an array of unmanaged ints and size gives the size of the array. I would like to wrap the function like so

Hi! I want some communication to take place between a c++ app and a c++ .dll with an intermediate managed/unmanaged c++ dll.

I don't mind about where the array is created, but I need to be able to pass it around. Anyhow, my problem is, that if I create an array in unmanaged c++ like

In my managed code (C#) I have a some dozens of single dimension byte array. I get each of this arrays from another unmanaged code (first DLL).

Using .NET 3.5, I need to pass an array of structs as parameter to a C++ unmanaged function. The C++ dll stores some data in an unmanaged cache, the function writes the values into the array of structs. The array of structs are allocated by C#. If I pass the array without 'ref' it works fine on the C++ side, but after returning to C# the array struct values are all zero. If I pass with 'ref' the application crashes. If I use a class...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
