QuestionMarshaling structures containing an array of structures Pin

Hi. I'm trying to use p/invoke on some standard C library. The library defines a struct:
<br />
typedef struct {<br />
	FLAC__FrameHeader header;<br />
	FLAC__Subframe subframes[8];<br />
	FLAC__FrameFooter footer;<br />
} FLAC__Frame;<br />


where FLAC__FrameHeader, FLAC__Subframe, and FLAC__FrameFooter are other copmlex structures.

The library declares a function that consumes a FLAC__Frame as argument, such as :
void someFunc(FLAC__Frame frame);

[These are snippets from libFlac, for those in the know, but this is not really relevant; see here for more on FLAC.]


The question is: how do you marshall the struct to pass it back and forth between C# code and the C library function ?

I've tried to describe the FLAC_Frame structure as this, among other things:
<br />
    [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]<br />
    internal struct Frame {<br />
        public FrameHeader Header;<br />
        [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst = 8)]<br />
        public Subframe[] Subframes;<br />
        public FrameFooter Footer;<br />
    }<br />
<br />
    [DllImport("libFlac.dll")]<br />
    private static extern void someFunc(Frame frame);<br />


but I keep getting a TypeLoadException with the comment "Cannot marshal field 'Subframes' of type 'Frame': There is no marshaling support for this type."
It does not seem to like the array of Subframes embedded in the Frame structure.

Anybody would have hints ?

Thanks,


Pyt.
