Hi!
It is possible to send an array of data from Matlab (7.10.0 R2012a) to an Active X object (coded in C#)? I have tried more than a dozen different approaches but with no luck. I have concluded the following by compiling code in C# and analyze the interface in Matlab:
C# Interface Matlab type
params byte[] -> SafeArray(char)
params char[] -> SafeArray(int16)
params int[] -> SafeArray(int32)
byte* -> char
char* -> int16
int* -> int32
Typically my method looks like this in C#:
void WriteDeviceBytes_matlab(byte wordAddress, int byteCount, params byte[] data);
In Matlab I use variants of this to call my C# method:
net = actxserver('RFFEDriver.RFFEDriverClass'); % Load the ActiveX
net.WriteDeviceBytes_matlab(char(4),4, {5 3 5 7}) % Using {}
I have tried six different types of data types in C# for the third parameter, the data array, and for each I have tried five inputs from matlab hoping to find a working combination.
With the list type “[]” I get error message: ??? Error: The parameter is incorrect. And with the pointer type I get the error message ??? No method 'WriteDeviceBytes_matlab' with matching signature found for class 'COM.RFFEDriver_RFFEDriverClass'.
A full description of my experiments follows:
I have compiled the C# code with the following commands
C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\csc /t:library RFFEDriver.cs FTD2XX_NET.cs
C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\regasm RFFEDriver.dll /tlb /codebase

-------------------------------------------
Now pointers are used and the keyword “unsafe” is added when compiling and to method declarations
C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\csc /t:library RFFEDriver.cs FTD2XX_NET.cs /unsafe
C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\regasm RFFEDriver.dll /tlb /codebase

Are you calling a .net object or an activex control?

Make sure your activex control is registered .dll and that it shows up elsewhere (call it from vb or something)

Oh, also make sure your version of matlab supports this: ver 7 is so long ago it may not have the functionality
