Hi,
Could you please help me how to declare an araay of pointer in C#.
In my program I declared an structure
public struct SEventQ
{
public uint uiUserData;
public uint uiEvent;
public uint uiParam0;
public uint uiParam1;
}
Now I want to delare an array of pointer look likes
unsafe SEventQ [] *EvQ = new SEventQ[10];
Thanks,
Kathy Tran 7 2780
Kathy,
Why do you want an array of pointers. Are you performing some sort of
interop which requires an array of pointers to these structures to be taken,
or do you need an array of structure?
If you wanted an array of pointers, I believe you would do:
SEventQ **EvQ;
However, you couldn't say "new SEventQ*", since you can't "create" a
pointer in that manner.
What is it that you are trying to do?

Hi Nicholas Paldino ,
Thanks for responding my question. I am performing some of interop which
requires an array of pointers to these structures to be taken. In my program
I want to go through an array of pointer, with each element in array I assign
some values in structure and then pass each element to un unmanaged code
function
[DllImport("PikaAPI.dll")]
unsafe public static extern int PK_AUDIO_InputAddBuffer(SEventQ *pEvent);
but I am very confusing and do not how to declare an array of pointer.
Thank,

Kathy,
What is the original declaration (in C/C++) of the method? The one that
you have is not an array of pointers, but rather, just a pointer to the
structure, which is the same as an array of structures (not an array of
pointers to a structure).

This MSDN article has examples for this kind of thing: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/08/CQA/
I hope one of the examples helps.

Hi Nicholas Paldino,
This is the original declaration in C
typedef struct TBufferHeader_tag
{
PK_PCHAR lpData;
PK_U32 dwBufferLength;
PK_U32 dwBytesRecorded;
PK_U32 dwUser;
PK_U32 dwFlags;
PK_U32 dwTimeStamp;
struct TBufferHeader_tag *lpNext;
PK_U32 reserved;
} TBufferHeader, *PBufferHeader;
Syntax
PK_STATUS PK_AUDIO_InputAddBuffer
(
IN TResourceHandle hPort, // TResourceHandle is an int
IN PBufferHeader pBuffer
);
My program will call the above function

what you have is not an array, it's a linked list. and your function
signature is wrong. My guess is that the resource handle should be an opaque
pointer that's marshalled as IntPtr. And you'd have to marshal the
TBufferHeader* as a IntPtr as well. In your structure definition, lpData
should be an IntPtr to a unmanaged buffer, and lpNext should be a IntPtr to
the next element in the linked list. problem is that you'd have to make a
lot of manual calls to Marshal.AlocHGlobal and Marshal.StructureToPtr to get
your data set up back and forth.
I'd suggest that you read and understand platform invoke fully before
attempting. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...lfunctions.asp
