Hi,

CircuitDoc wrote:
All of the array instantiations is done on the C# side


that is nice.


I now have several comments:
1. I never had a ExecutionEngineException before. Most often a P/Invoke mistake yields an access violation of some kind.
2. I am not familiar with Array.Count() method; I would use Array.Length. And I would expect Count() to return an integer, so I don't see a need for Convert.ToUInt32() four times.
3. Your second parameter has ref although nothing in the C++ source justifies that. I would throw it out (twice).
4. In C/C++ a double* is a simple pointer to one or several doubles; in C# double[] is the reference to an array, that is not the same as a data pointer. You need to:
- replace all arrays by IntPtr types inside the structs;
- allocate the arrays outside the structs;
- pin or fix each of the arrays so they can't be moved around while native code is running; this takes either the fixed keyword and the unsafe keyword and compiler switch, or, my preference, the GCHandle class. An C# example follows:

public int ArrayHandle() {
    int dim=10000;
    int[] numbers=new int[dim];
    ...
    GCHandle handle=GCHandle.Alloc(numbers, GCHandleType.Pinned);
    int sum=SumArray(handle.AddrOfPinnedObject(), dim);
    handle.Free();
    return sum;
}


That should get you going. If and when it still fails, please show updated code and symptoms again.

Smile | :)

I only read code that is properly indented, and rendered in a non-proportional font; hint: use PRE tags in forum messages
