Body
I am using reflection to handle an assembly loaded at runtime. My problem is that one of the methods has an output parameter which contains an array of structs. Here are the declarations from assembly: <pre><code>public struct WHATEVER { } public class SOMECLASS { public static int methodCall(out WHATEVER[] ppWhateverStructs); } </code></pre> And here's how I tried to execute: <pre><code>Type tWHATEVER = Assembly.Load("path-to-Assembly").GetType("WHATEVER"); Type tSOMECLASS = Assembly.Load("path-to-Assembly").GetType("SOMECLASS"); Array objStructs = Array.CreateInstance(tWHATEVER, 1); object[] Params = new object[] { @objStructs }; // tried with and without "@" - same thing MethodInfo method = tSOMECLASS.GetMethod("methodCall", new Type[] { tWHATEVER.MakeArrayType().MakeByRefType() }); retVal = method.Invoke(null, Params); </code></pre> when I put 'Params' on watch window it shows me that it contains a 1-element array which also contains an N-sized array filled with elements, and objStructs is unchanged. This is correct. My problem is I don't know how to pick items from sub-array: <pre><code>object objRestuls = Params[0]; </code></pre> This statement works, shows the items I expect in watch-window, but I don't know how to iterate and pick them up from object. When I try this: <pre><code>object [] objRestuls = (object [])Params[0]; </code></pre> The following exception is thrown: <pre><code>An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in TestAssembly.dll Additional information: Unable to cast object of type 'TestAssembly.WHATEVER[]' to type 'System.Object[]'. </code></pre> Does anyone have a hint on how to read an struct-array encapsulated in an object?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
