COM Interop and Array Pointers

I am using a COM DLL function that takes a pointer to the first
element in an array of short values.

Foo(short* array)

COM interop provides that function to me in the .NET world with a "ref
short" parameter.

Foo(ref short array)

It seems that no matter what I try, the function only sees the first
element in the array. Is there a way to get it to see then entire
array? Maybe by using some sort of marshalling I haven't tried yet?

Thanks,
Mike
