Marshal static array inside the structure from C++ to C#

Hi,

Please give me an idea how to send a static array from dll written on
C++ to C# application.

This is a C++ code:
const SIGNATURE_LENGT H = 50;

struct Info
{
unsigned int Signature[SIGNATURE_LENGT H];
}
This is a C# code:
[StructLayout( LayoutKind.Sequ ential, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode )]
public struct Info
{
[MarshalAs(Unman agedType.ByValA rray,SizeConst= 50)]
uint[] Signature;
}

The problem is that I have to specify the length of the static array to
be marshalled from dll. But if the length changes in future then I have
to rebuild my c# code according with new static array length?

How to make universal C# code for to marshal static array inside the
structure?

Thanks in advise,
Eugene.

Skip the structure and use a dynamically allocated buffer to hold the
data instead.

Can anyone suggest how I would marshal a variable length structure back from an API call. Specifically, I am looking at the WaitForDebugEvent function, which returns a DEBUG_EVENT structure. However, the DEBUG_EVENT structure is defined as a union, and the size and contents vary depending on the event code contained in the header. typedef struct _DEBUG_EVENT { DWORD dwDebugEventCode; DWORD dwProcessId;

Hi, I'm working with Marshalling. I got an idea to pass an object to the Native side as a byte array i.e. as void* in terms of C. For example: I have a .NET structure Point that contains two fields X and Y that means that the byte array representation will look in the memory like this: "XXXXYYYY" First four bytes are X and second for bytes are Y.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
