Hi All,
The question is regarding Unmanaged and Managed code conversion in C# for structures.
I have two structures like:
public struct Detail
{
public int age;
public string address;
public Detail(int _age, string _address)
{
age = _age;
address = _address;
}
}
public struct Name
{
public Detail[] names;
}
While passing the code to StructureToPtr function:
Name some = new Name();
some.names[0].age = 23;
some.names[0].address = "123,ABC Farms";
int Size = Marshal.SizeOf( some);
IntPtr data = Marchal.AllocHG lobal(Size); Marshal.Structu reToPtr(some, data, true);
This code is showing error as Parameters are not correct, and if i tried to pass the same code without using array, it worked perfectly.
Can anyone please suggest me what should i try to resolve the problem.

This would be expected when you don't use an array some is an object, when you do use an array some is an array of objects, since StructureToPtr takes an object handle as its first parameter if can not cope with the array. Even if it did it would be marshalling the array object not the objects in the array.
I would guess you will need to marshal each object in the array individually.
If you have not already check the MSDN function reference for this function.

I've converted " byte" to "byte *" at times, using 'unsafe' and
fixed { .... }, but the reverse does not seem to work.
In this case, a C++ DLL returns a byte * and a length. What is the best
way to convert these to straight C#-compatible straight " byte" arrays?
PS: The C++ DLL is actually managed and I have access to the source.
Perhaps there is a simpler syntax for doing the conversion there, and
returning a C# compatible array...

Hi,
I have a logger.dll (unmanaged c++ dll compiled in vs2005).
I have a C# interop to use that dll in managed code implemented in
Interfaces.dll (used by other C# dlls).
I also have a number of other C# dlls referencing Interfaces.dll and
using logger.dll interop for logging.

Hi,
I have several interfaces in CLI that I access via c#. My problem is,
is that down in the unmanaged c++, which the CLI lies on top of, I
have a lot of c_str() happening. But all of my methods in CLI return
System::String^. I originally just gcnew'd System::String^ passing in
the c_str(). But I can't really have as many gcnew's as I'm using for
overhead and for fear of leaks.
So my question is this, how can I get the char*...

Hi, I have a C# program that uses an unmanaged dll that has a function
similar to the signature below :
void f(out MyStruct arr, out int num); // num = actual array length returned
The array must be allocated (with known max length = 10) before the call to
the dll function (the dll just fills it ,with no allocations).
