wwDotNetBridge::CreateArray

Creates a new ComArray instance based on the .NET type you specify as a parameter.

ComArray is a wwDotnetBridge wrapper type that can be passed to InvokeMethod() or SetProperty() and is converted by wwDotNetBridge into the native array type that is stored in the Value property thus allow keeping the array entirely in .NET without having to be marshaled into FoxPro arrays.

o.CreateArray(lcDotnetElementType)

Parameters

lcDotnetElementType
The full .NET typename for the array elements to be created. Each element of the array will be of this type.

Use System.Object if you need to pass mixed types for each element rather than a single type for each element.

Remarks

ComArray objects are converted into .NET arrays only if you use indirect access via InvokeMethod or SetProperty, not direct object calls.

Example

VFP

loBridge = CREATEOBJECT("wwDotNetBridge")

loService = CREATEOBJECT("Sample.MyService")

*** Create an instance of the array with the 
*** specific type of the elements
LOCAL loArr as Westwind.WebConnection.ComArray
loArr = loBridge.CreateArray("System.Object")

*** Add Items
loArr.AddItem("New Item")
loArr.AddItem(10)

*** Create a .NET object and set properties
loCust = loBridge.CreateInstance("Sample.Customer")
loCust.Company = "West Wind"
loCust.Entered = DateTime()

*** Add the object to the array
loArr.AddItem(loCust)

*** Now call a method that takes the array as a parameter
loBridge.InvokeMethod(loService,"PassArray",loArr)
