Greetings!
I'm calling a DLL function from C# that returns a null terminated list of pointers to strings. The return type is 'object'.
object o = thing.getNames( );
In Visual Studio, the Autos window shows the returned value o as of type "object {string[]}". It shows the Value as "{Dimension s:[1..3]}". I can expand o and items [1] and [2] are the expected strings, of type "string".
I don't understand how to access these, though. I can't seem to cast o to anything of use, an IntPtr from which I could get the string pointers, not to string[], not to object[], I can't say "IntPtr ip = Marshal.ReadInt Ptr(o);".
Help appreciated.
