I'm calling the C# methods from a C++ unmanaged code. I have a problem with getting a value from a class instance returned in array.
I've simplified the code a little bit
This is the problematic method.
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.SafeArray, SafeArraySubType = VarEnum.VT_UNKNOWN)]
public ScOrder[] GetOrders()
{
return new ScOrder[] {
(new ScOrder(1),
(new ScOrder(2)
};
}
This is the IScOrder interface
[ComVisible(true)]
[Guid("B2B134CC-70A6-43CD-9E1E-B3A3D9992C3E")]
[InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIUnknown)]
public interface IScOrder
{
long GetQuantity();
}
And this is the ScOrder implementation
[ComVisible(true)]
[Guid("F739759E-4D00-440E-B0B7-69AAF97FCB6D")]
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]
public class ScOrder
{
private long quantity = 0;
public ScOrder() {}
public ScOrder(long quantity)
{
this.quantity = quantity;
}
public long GetQuantity()
{
return this.quantity;
}
}
This is the C++ code, after a help from Zdeslav Vojkovic in my previous request. The problem is described in the comments
- I'm not using ATL nor MFC.
- The C++ tlb file is generated via regasm.
COM initialization and calling the GetOrders method works good
IScProxyPtr iPtr;
CoInitialize(NULL);
iPtr.CreateInstance(CLSID_ScProxy);
SAFEARRAY* orders;
iPtr->GetOrders(&orders);
LPUNKNOWN* punks;
HRESULT hr = SafeArrayAccessData(orders, (void**)&punks);
if(SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
long lbound, ubound;
SafeArrayGetLBound(orders, 1, &lbound);
SafeArrayGetUBound(orders, 1, &ubound);
long elements = ubound - lbound + 1;
for(int i=0;i<elements;i++)
{
LPUNKNOWN punk = punks[i]; //the punk seems valid
IScOrderPtr order(punk); //unfortunatelly, "order" now points to {0x00000000}
//subsequent attempt to get the value will fail
long quantity = 0;
HRESULT procCall;
//GetQuantity will throw an exception
procCall = order->GetQuantity((long long *)q);
}
SafeArrayUnaccessData(orders);
}
SafeArrayDestroy(orders);
Thanks to Zdeslav, I discovered that I can debug inside the order(punk):
IScOrderPtr order(punk);
So I stepped into order(punk) to see what's happening there. I got inside a "comip.h"
// Constructs a smart-pointer from any IUnknown-based interface pointer.
//
template<typename _InterfaceType> _com_ptr_t(_InterfaceType* p)
: m_pInterface(NULL)
{
HRESULT hr = _QueryInterface(p);
...then I stepped inside the _QueryInterface(p) implementation, also in comip.h
// Performs a QI on pUnknown for the interface type returned
// for this class. The interface is stored. If pUnknown is
// NULL, or the QI fails, E_NOINTERFACE is returned and
// _pInterface is set to NULL.
//
template<typename _InterfacePtr> HRESULT _QueryInterface(_InterfacePtr p) throw()
{
HRESULT hr;
// Can't QI NULL
//
if (p != NULL) {
// Query for this interface
//
Interface* pInterface;
hr = p->QueryInterface(GetIID(), reinterpret_cast<void**>(&pInterface));
Now the problem here is that the value of "hr" returned is E_NOINTERFACE ... and that's not right.
I'm no C++ or COM expert...please help :)
