Pass from C# (framework 1.1) array of delegates to unmanaged DLL as array of function pointers

When try pass only one delegate as parameter, all work fine.
But I need call function, that take as parameter array of function
pointers. From C++ code I used such code:

static void* aFuncPtrs[] =
{
&Function1,
&Function2,
&Function3,
};
UnmanagedFuncti on( aFuncPtrs );

How can I do same in C# ? I try next (suppose all methods have same
prototype ):

delegate void UnmanagedFuncti onDelegate();
void Function1(){};
void Function2(){};
void Function3(){};

[DllImport(...)]
private static extern void UnmanagedFuncti on(
[MarshalAs(Unman agedType.LPArra y,
ArraySubType=Un managedType.Fun ctionPtr)]
UnmanagedFuncti onDelegate[] v_aFunctions );

UnmanagedFuncti onDelegate[] aFuncPtrs=
{
new UnmanagedFuncti onDelegate( Function1 ),
new UnmanagedFuncti onDelegate( Function2 ),
new UnmanagedFuncti onDelegate( Function3 )
};
UnmanagedFuncti on( aFuncPtrs );

But this not work (access violation). Using ClrSpy I see:

"Marshaling from UnmanagedFuncti onDelegate[] to native array of
IUnknown * (size not specified by a parameter) in method
UnmanagedFuncti on."

In same time if try pass only one delegate (thats work fine), ClrSpy
show:

"Marshaling from UnmanagedFuncti onDelegate to Delegate in method
UnmanagedFuncti on2."

How say C# to marshal array items as Delegate, not IUnknown * ?

hello, I'm allocating a byte-Array in C# with byte byteArray = new byte; Now I want to pass this byte-Array to a managed C++-function by reference, so that I'm able to change the content of the byteArray and afterwards see the changes in C#.

Hello, The following posting was made on this newsgroup some 2 yrs ago. Is this still true with the present release of .net. Because I get the exact same exception thrown "Function pointer not created by a delegate". Or is there a work around provided for this. In my case I don't think the methods pointed to by function pointers follow __cdecl calling

I need to be able to pass a pointer to a (managed code) Stream object to a COM method so it can serialize its data into the stream.

Any and all: Is there an efficient way to pass a large array from .NET to COM? Can references (or pointer) be passed from COM to NET and NET to COM without the object it refers to being copied? Thanks in advance. David

I am trying to pass a function (method) address to a user control to associate with an event. The small user control which sends events is contained in a larger user control group which is in turn contained in the main application. I need the event handler to exist at this top level in the application, and so I'm trying to somehow let the small control (two layers down) know the address of this handler, so that the function is called. ...

Hi! I've been working with DLLimports passing structs and various other parameters to unmanaged code. I had problems earlier sending pointer to structs to the unmanaged code, and this forum solved it for me (using the ref keyword etc). I now encountered a function that takes a pointer to an array as a parameter, and this array consists of other pointers, to structs. Horrible isn't it? I have no way of modifying the unmanaged code, I...

I'm using managed (CLR) C++ in VS2005 to create a Windows app that contains a form named "MyForm". In the code for that form I'm trying to invoke some static functions by using an array of function pointers (delegates). I assume I need to use the array< T keyword to allocate an array of delegates, and then initialize the array by setting each array element to the pointers (handles) of the functions I'll be invoking. I've been trying to...

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,...
