Hi All,

I have found the solution for this problem , the simplest way of passing structure from Managed C++ to C# is ..



Eg:

In MC++

public struct xyz

{

public:

int x;

int y;

};



Method in MC++ invoking C# Method say

...............

..............

CsharpDLLNamesp ace::CSharpeCla ss^ ObjectofSharpMe thod= gcnew CsharpDLLNamesp ace::CSharpeCla ss();



xyz obj;

obj.x = 10 ;

obj.y = 20 ;

ObjectofSharpMe thod>CsharpMeth od((System::Int Ptr)&obj);



In C#



[StructLayout(La youtKind.Sequen tial, Pack = 2)]

public class xyz

{

public int x;

public int y;

}



public void CsharpMethod(In tPtr pob )

{

xyz obj = new xyz();

Marshal.PtrToSt ructure(pob, obj);

Console.WriteLi ne("Converted Successfully" + "x : " + obj.x+ "y :" + obj.y);

}

Hi, I seem to be having a problem I can't quite figure out. Currently, I have the following code (below). In the SendMsg function, I create a 'Qtkmsg' which converts the string 'text' into a null terminated character array that is sent through the DllImport interface 'QtkSendMesg'. However, when I receive this struct in the C++ DLL, the character array that I passed to it is filled with random characters. What am I doing wrong when...
