Hi
First of all please let me know if there is some other, more suitable
group for this news - TIA :-)
Now, my problem. I'm writing an C# application in which I'm using some
functions from DLL. This dll has been written in C.
One of these functions returns as a result a structure, in example:
[StructLayout(La youtKind.Sequen tial, Pack=2)]
internal class myStruct
{
public short someNumber;
public IntPtr handle;
}
OK. Now in this handle there is a pointer to a structure with actuall
results.
[StructLayout(La youtKind.Sequen tial, Pack=2)]
internal class myStruct2
{
public uint count; //number of values return from function
public uint current; //current value
[MarshalAs(Unman agedType.ByValA rray, SizeConst=1)]
public short[] items; //array of results
}
OK. Hope you're still with me :D
Now, as you can see there is another array in myStruct2. This array
contains result which I want to get :D
In this function description I have something like this:
<description>
The items value is simply a placeholder for the start of the actual
array, which must be allocated when the container is allocated.
</description>
In my application I have something like this:
<code>
[DllImport("some .dll", EntryPoint="#1" )]
private static extern short getValues([In, Out] myStruct cap);
myStruct ms = new myStruct();
getValues(ms);
myStruct2 ms2 = new myStruct2();
ms2 = (myStruct2)Mars hal.PtrToStruct ure(ms.handle, typeof(myStruct 2));
</code>
In return I get some really strange values in ms2.count and ms2.current.
Not mentioning that I can't get the values from the items :-(
What am I doing wrong? Meybe there is something missing?
best regards

There is undoubtedly a more suitable group somewhere in microsoft.* for
C-flat. Despite the dishonestly chosen name, that language has not that
much to do with C, except superficially.
Now, my problem. I'm writing an C# application in which I'm using some functions from DLL. This dll has been written in C.
That's no excuse.

[StructLayout(La youtKind.Sequen tial, Pack=2)] internal class myStruct { public short someNumber; public IntPtr handle; }
No function written in C can return a structure like that, because it's
not C.
If you wish to know how a specifically laid-out structure can be read in
Cb, you'll need to ask in a Cb newsgroup. This one only deals with real
C, not with counterfeit Java.
If, OTOH, you wish to know how a specific _C_ struct is laid out in
memory, then you'll need to ask in a newsgroup for the specific compiler
that was used to compile the program, because the C Standard doesn't
make any demands beyond that items must appear in order. Sizes,
alignments, padding bytes and endianness are all left to the discretion
of the implementation.

There certainly is something more suitable. Some newsgroup with
microsoft or windows in its name. Neither C# nor DLLs are
mentioned in the ISO C standard, so they are totally unknown here.
This group deals only with the portable C language, which will
operate unchanged on multiple systems, and is defined by the C
standard.
Your question could have been on-topic even though it mentioned
DLLs, depending on how it was couched. But C# <> C by any stretch
of the imagination.

Hello,
I have a strange situation using .Net FW 1.1. I want to use
Marshal.PtrToStructure to fill the structure below. The first 3 fields
get filled correctly: ulStruct describes how big the structure is in
bytes (120 bytes, assuming 32-bit IntPtrs), pWmSnapshot gets 0, and
usNumWmSnapshots gets 0. The next field, pICView, is a pointer to
another structure, and gets filled with some garbage location, which is
actually the lower 2 bytes...
