• .NET Development calling a COM/C++ method with an array from C#

  I have an unmanaged C++ method that takes an array. I want to call it from C# via com. The interface looks like so: [id(2), helpstring("method Writer")] HRESULT Writer([in] long addr, [in, size_is(len)] BYTE stuff[], [in] long len); The implementing class implements it like so: STDMETHOD(Writer)(long addr, BYTE stuff[], long len); And the declaration is: STDMETHODIMP CComDemo::Writer(long first, BYTE stuff[], long last) It imports into C#, but the "stuff" parameter is a "ref byte", not a "byte[]" in C#. I'm at a bit of a dead end as to how to proceed. I'm thinking I'll have to use IntPtr and/or Marshal or some other interop class, but I can't figure out how.
