UnmanagedMarshal.DefineSafeArray(UnmanagedType) Method

Definition

Specifies a SafeArray to marshal to unmanaged code.

public:
 static System::Reflection::Emit::UnmanagedMarshal ^ DefineSafeArray(System::Runtime::InteropServices::UnmanagedType elemType);
public static System.Reflection.Emit.UnmanagedMarshal DefineSafeArray (System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType elemType);
static member DefineSafeArray : System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType -> System.Reflection.Emit.UnmanagedMarshal
Public Shared Function DefineSafeArray (elemType As UnmanagedType) As UnmanagedMarshal

Parameters

elemType
UnmanagedType

The base type or the UnmanagedType of each element of the array.

Returns

An UnmanagedMarshal object.

Exceptions

The argument is not a simple native type.

Remarks

The DefineSafeArray method is not a simple native marshal.

Only unmanaged marshal constructs can be made using these static constructors.

Marshaling an array is a more complex process than marshaling an integer parameter. Array members are copied in a specific order so that the other side can reconstruct the array exactly.
