Varaint ---> COM to .NET

[Duncan Winn]

I am passing back a Variant* from COM to .NET. The pointer actually holds a
void**. i.e.

void ** row_array;
row_array = (void**)new byte[100];

row_array[0] = (void*)70186;
row_array[1] = (void*)"701.86";
row_array[2] = (void*)true;
row_array[2] = (void*)"duncan";

Variant variant_array;
Variant *variant_array_ptr = &variant_array;
variant_array_ptr->byref = row_array;
return *variant_array_ptr;
However I do not know how to retrieve the information in.Net.
At present I have placed the returned Variant into an object but this does
not seem any good?

Any suggestions???

what language in .NET? If VB you have to declare the
receiving object as an array, like:
dim objArray As Object
objArray = Array()
then set it to the COM Variable.

If we're talking C-ish, use a VARIANT.
VARIANT var
Your array will be in var.parray
