Returning multiple arrays from function

Tom
Shouldn't you be able to return them as 3 By Ref arguments
in the function call?
-----Original Message-----
I have a class with a function which need to return to the caller threetwo-dimensional arrays. Right now the function sends the arrays as an arrayof arrays. The caller then decomposes the array of arrays back to itsconstituent arrays.

The trouble is I plan to make this class a class library which may beconsummed by CLS-compliant code. I understand that the new VB.NET array ofarrays feature is not CLS-compliant.

The arrays can be very large and I would like to avoid giving them classlevel scope.

Does anyone have a CLS-compliant technique for sending three arrays withprocedure level scope from a function to a caller.

I have a php file that contains a couple of arrays used for state/country pull-down lists. I have two global arrays and an accessor method for each. I have some simple logging methods, so I know a little bit about what I'm getting back. When I try to get the arrays from another file using the accessor methods, I get no array back. Within the file that contains the arrays, I can access them by global name and also by the accessor methods....

Hi, if you have a function, how is it possible to return an array? E.g.: unsigned long function(...) // what I want to do, obviously illegal I do know such would be possible by using a dynamic array e.g: array *a; a = function(...)

I have two questions which are very similar: Is it possible to return an object in C++. Below is part of my code for reference however I am more concerned about the concept. It seems like the function below is returning a pointer to pointers who are GUID. I am trying to write a wrapper to use in my VB code and what I would prefer to do is be able to return an array of GUID. I remember (not sure) that the concept of arrays does not really...

Can someone please help, I'm trying to pass an array to a function, do some operation on that array, then return it for further use. The errors I am getting for the following code are, differences in levels of indirection, so I feel it must have something to do with the way I am representing the array in the call and the return. Below I have commented the problem parts. Thanks in advance for any help offered. Pete

Hi! I have a function, a part of my code which I can use as a function. It will return 2 arrays, and I am wondering what way to do so. Both arrays hold strings, there are no special keys. 1) setting the arrays as globals 2) returnin an array of arrays 3) returning a large array with a known marker to indicate when the 2nd part starts.
