Dear all,
I have written a C++ COM object:
STDMETHOD(myfun c)(INT* array)
Now I need to pass an array from c# to COM. I generated a COM interop and
the signature of the function is
myfunc(ref int)
in C# I have an array of ints.
If I call
myfunc(array[0])
and try to access from COM object the array[1],2.... they are incorrect.
Only array[0] is correct. What do I do wrong?
Thanks a lot,
Boni 6 1726

Your function definion is: STDMETHOD(myfun c)(INT* array)
From this function definition it is not clear what the size of the array
should be. I assume that the client and the server know the size of the
array for a reason not described so far. In this case you should define you
P/Invoke function like this:
[DllImport(".... ")]
static extern myfunc([MarshalAs(LPAra y int[] rgi);

Hi Marcus, I assume that the client and the server know the size of the array for a reason not described so far.
No the size is passed as a second function argument (sorry I skiped this in
the description)
STDMETHOD(myfun c)(INT* array, int size).
And I don't use PInvoke explicitely (Visual Studo generats Interop for me).

The COM Interop Type information generated by VS, by TLBIMP, and by
System::Runtime ::Interop::Type LibConverter is not sufficient for what you
need. This is especially the case, because the COM Type Info does not have
all the information that is necessary.
It is very likely that you have to write the type information yourself.
[
object,
uuid(... your IID ...),
oleautomation
]
interface IYourInterface : IUnknown {
STDMETHOD(myfun c)([size_is(size)] INT* array, int size);
}
in this case, you can define Interop Type Info like this one:
[
Guid("... your IID ..."),
InterfaceType(C omInterfaceType .InterfaceIsIUn known)
]
public interface IYouInterface
{
void myFunc([MarshalAs(Unman agedType.LPArra y, SizeParamIndex= 1)] int[]
rgints, int size);
}
Thanks a lot Marcus, I will try that.

Just one more small question void myFunc([MarshalAs(Unman agedType.LPArra y, SizeParamIndex= 1)] int[]
Is the pointer passed to the array a pointer to initial array or to a copy
of this array? I.e. If I change data inside of COM using this pointer, will
initial data change?
No, you pass a copy, so you can't change the managed arry this way.
Anyway, the easiest way of passing array's to/from COM is by means of self
describing SAFEARRAY's. The default COM interop marshaler will take care of
data marshaling for automation types.
IDL:
HRESULT PassInOutIntArr ay([in, out] SAFEARRAY(long) * arr);
Declaration:
....
STDMETHOD(PassI nOutIntArray)(S AFEARRAY ** arr);
Definition:
STDMETHODIMP CTest::PassInOu tIntArray(SAFEA RRAY ** arr)
{
int* temp;
SafeArrayAccess Data(*arr, (void**)&temp);
long ubound;
SafeArrayGetUBo und(*arr, 1, &ubound);
for(int i = 0; i <= ubound; i++)
{
temp[i] = temp[i] * 2; // each element * 2
}
SafeArrayUnacce ssData(*arr);
S_OK;
}
C#
....
Array iar = new int[10] { 12, 23, 45, 7, 89, 25, 12, 8, 9, 5 };a;
ComObj.PassInOu tIntArray(ref iar );
foreach(int in iar)
....
No need to define the interface in C#, just set a reference to the typelib
and you are done.
Willy.
