I have a .Net application (VB in particular, although I would this to be as language agnostic as possible) that uses a COM object (made in C++). I need to implement a event in COM that passes a char array from C++ to .Net. I guess I need to convert the array to a managed array; How can I do this?

Pass a string array from Visual Basic Express 2008 to unmanaged code in a Dll.The array is Dimmed as in DIM myArray(11) as String
I'm developing the dll myself using Powerbasic.
The dll expect a 4 bytes pointer to a safearray's handle. As far as I have understood it; the array's string elements must be passed in ANSI format. The code in the dll will then use OLE Api to get the LBound and Ubound of the array and the address of the first element in array.
Is it possible to start another EXE in Managed Code? At this time, all I can do is use:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(exeName)
Is there another way to call another EXE within the same project?
I am trying to develop a dll in VisualStudio2005 in vb.net that will communicate with a spectrometer attached to the USB port of the computer.Now the dll exists in C++ and it works like a charm. It is unmanaged code.Now if I try to translate this code in VB.net (because our app is in VB and my boss wants it in VB for maintainability) I have problems.
First of all, I am trying to create a file to open that port. The code in C++ looks like below and it works. Needles to say I tried to call the C++ dll from our app and it works. If I call the vb dll it doesn't. It gives me "access denied" no matter what I tried. I am not sure if my CreateFile is wrong or it's .net. I read somewhere that I need a manifest file included in the dll? Has anyone experience something like this? Why would i get "ACCESS DENIED" all the time?

I need to write a DLL in C that is used a plugin for an existing application.The DLL has to be compiled by the Visual Studio 2008 compiler with the following options.[code]It's then linked to applications library's.What it actually needs to do and what's causing me the issues is that within one of the methods it needs to pull data from a sql server 2008 r2. From what I've seen today you wouldn't be able to do this directly in C as SQL Server past 2005 is designed to communicate with CLR languages( C#, C++, VB.Net).It was suggested that I handle all the database communication with a VB.Net dll and then call said function from within the C dll. Most of what I've found on the topic of calling managed dll's from unmanaged code has talked about pinvoke or com wrappers and mainly from the perspective of c++.

View 1 RepliesI am having a problem marshaling data between managed and unmanaged code. So I need to inspect the data at the byte level. What I need to do is store a number, say 8 into a 4-byte integer then copy it to an array bytArray(4) and compare those bytes with other data. I also need to set up the same array and copy it to an integer variable.

figure out a way to link datagridviews to other controls like a combobox, list view or even another datagridviewBecause much of the code is managed by the IDE, I was expecting an IDE approach to linking controls. Is this the case or do I have to modify the generated code to do what I want.An example would be to use a combobox to limit the number of entries in a datagridview etc

I'm writing a wrapper class to expose a subset of the functionality of a .NET FTP library edtftpne from Enterprise Distributed Technologies.
When you call the edtftp's GetFileInfos method you get an array of FTPFile objects returned. I'm able to iterate through these but I don't know how to pass them on as a new and different object array containing only Name and Size for each file. Here's the code I have. Sorry it's a little confusing because I have my own class named FTPFile and the .NET library I'm using also has a class named FTPFile. I'm using both of them here. I should probably change the name of my class just to avoid confusion:
Public Function GetFileList() As FTPFile() Implements IFTP.GetFileList
Dim ftpfiles() As EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp.FTPFile
ftpfiles = fCon.GetFileInfos 'Fill object array
[Code]....
I'd just pass on the object array that I'm getting from the GetFileInfos method but COM clients won't have access to the class/object EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp.FTPFile without me rewriting it, I'm assuming.

After it completes recording the data from Excel, I need to pass the array to another function.I understand how to pass a jagged array, but not a true multidimensional array.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I've done some searching on this site, and others, but most of the info only includes single dimension arrays or jagged arrays.
Isn't there a way in VB to pass an array literal? Say the subroutine ask for an array of integers and you have just one. Can't you do something like
DoSomething({MyNum})
instead of
Dim MyNums as Integer() = {MyNum}
DoSomeThing(MyNums)
I'm thinking I'm just missing some adornment to the array literal inorder pass it.

I have a simple VB.Net Form that acts as an interface to a control library with a public API.
One of the API calls takes an Array of UIntegers ByRef:
Public Function Get_Values(source_id As Byte, first_value_address As Byte, number_of_values As Byte, ByRef valuesOut As UInteger()) As Integer
After the call, valuesOut will hold a list of values number_of_values long from source_id starting at first_value_address.
There is a hardware driven limitation that the max number of values returned is 15 regardless of requested length. I need to get 28 values into an array from my VB.Net code.
Is it possible to send only part of an array variable to the function similar to this C code?
uint[28] values;
Get_Values(0, 0, 15, values);//get first part
Get_Values(0, 15, 13, &values[15]); //get second part of data
