I've generated an RCW and one of the methods takes a ref object (VARIANT*)
now in my source I've got the following
byte[] thingy = new byte[1024];
thingy = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes('Hello World");
To pass the byte thingy across to the COM world I have to change it to an
object (I assume this is boxing? but notto sure how ref and boxing go
together any links to help?)
so the call is
Object othingy = thingy;
DoTheCall( ref othingy);
Why can't I simply cast thingy at the time of call to an object like so
DoTheCall( ref (object)thingy );
Regards,
Robert Rolls
