[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] should be at the head of your metadata
struct not Chararray.
So,
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
struct metadata
{
public Chararray a;
public int b;
public float c;
public float d;
public Chararray f;
(and so on)
}
And define your strings within the HDF dataType as C_S1 and
H5T.setVariableSize().
