Hello, all,

I am trying to wrap an C structure (see below) which has array members
to C#. I am really new to SWIG and I wrote the following type
maps.

****my structure******************
typedef struct {
   int a;
   int b;
   double arr[100];
} test_struct;


****my C# typemap*************************
%typemap(ctype) double *, double[ANY], double[]   "double *"
%typemap(imtype) double *, double[ANY], double[]   "double []"
%typemap(cstype) double *, double[ANY], double[]   "double []"
%typemap(csin) double *, double[ANY], double[] "$csinput"
%typemap(csout, excode=3DSWIGEXCODE) double *, double[ANY], double[] {
    double[] ret =3D $imcall;$excode
    return ret;
  }
%typemap(csvarin, excode=3DSWIGEXCODE2) double *, double[ANY], double[] %{
    set {
      $imcall;$excode
    } %}
%typemap(csvarout, excode=3DSWIGEXCODE2) double *, double[ANY], double[] %{
    get {
      double[] ret =3D $imcall;$excode
      return ret;
    } %}
*********************************


And in the generated test_struct.cs, the properties of the array member is:
**************************************
  public double [] arr {
    set {
      mytestPINVOKE.test_struct_arr_set(swigCPtr, value);
    }
    get {
      double[] ret =3D mytestPINVOKE.test_struct_arr_get(swigCPtr);
      return ret;
    }
  }
**************************************

But when I try to access the array from C#, I get:
************************************
Unhandled Exception:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.MarshalDirectiveException: Can not mar
shal return value.
..........
************************************

What am I doing wrong? How should I write the typemaps for this
structure so that I can access the array in C# simething like:
test_struct ts;
double[] csarray=3D ts.arr;
ts.arr =3D csarray; or ts.arr(csarray); etc.
double a1 =3D ts.arr[1];

Any hints/recommendations are very much appreciated! Please help!

Thanks,

Xutuan
