Keeper,

What is the type of o when you look at it in the debugger? Is it
"System.Single[*]" or does it say something else? I've never seen
"System.Single[*]" before...

That probably indicates that the array has a non-zero lower bound,
which makes in incompatible with a regular Single[]. You can still
access each element with System.Array.GetValue().
