1. Introduction. 1.1 We have reached the most complex part of this series of articles on the use of SAFEARRAY to marshal arrays of managed structures between managed and unmanaged code. 1.2 I do hope that I have maintained the reader’s interest up to this point. 1.3 In the first 3 parts of this series, we … Continue reading
1. Introduction. 1.1 Starting from part 4 I have started to discuss how to interop marshal a managed array of TestStructure structs that is contained within a structure. 1.2 We have seen in part 4 an example for marshaling such a container structure to unmanaged code “one way” (i.e. as an “in” parameter). 1.3 In part … Continue reading
1. Introduction. 1.1 In part 4, I have started to discuss how to interop marshal a managed array that is contained within a structure. 1.2 I have given a specific working example for marshaling such a container structure to unmanaged code “one way” (i.e. as an “in” parameter). 1.3 Here in part 5, I shall demonstrate how to … Continue reading
1. Introduction. 1.1 In parts 1 through 3 of this series of articles, I have thoroughly discussed the techniques for exchanging arrays between managed and unmanaged code by way of SAFEARRAYs. 1.2 The knowledge that can be gained from the first 3 parts of this series is sufficient for general development purposes. 1.3 From part 4 … Continue reading
1. Introduction. 1.1 In part 1 of this series of articles, I demonstrated how to transfer managed arrays to unmanaged code as SAFEARRAYs. The transfer was single-directional “into” the unmanaged function and the SAFEARRAY that was passed to the unmanaged function is treated as “read-only”. 1.2 Then in part 2, I showed how to return a SAFEARRAY from … Continue reading
