Marshal-As.NET - Wish List

Friday, November 30, 2007

Would you like to try writing a marshal_as<> specialization? They're super simple, after all. Here's a list of some that we're sure to need:

Array Conversions

FROM TYPE	TO TYPE
array<String^>^	std::vector<std::string>
std::vector<std::string>	array<String^>^
array<String^>^	std::vector<std::wstring>
std::vector<std::wstring>	array<String^>^
array<String^>^	CArray<ATL::CStringT<char>>
CArray<ATL::CStringT<char>>	array<String^>^
array<String^>^	CArray<ATL::CStringT<wchar_t>>
CArray<ATL::CStringT<wchar_t>>	array<String^>^
array<String^>^	CSimpleArray<ATL::CStringT<char>>
CSimpleArray<ATL::CStringT<char>>	array<String^>^
array<String^>^	CSimpleArray<ATL::CStringT<wchar_t>>
CSimpleArray<ATL::CStringT<wchar_t>>	array<String^>^
array<String^>^	CSimpleArray<CComBSTR>
CSimpleArray<CComBSTR>	array<String^>^
array<String^>^	CArray<CComBSTR>
CArray<CComBSTR>	array<String^>^
array<T>^	std::vector<T>
std::vector<T>	array<T>^
array<T>^	CComSafeArray<T,U>
CComSafeArray<T, U>	array<T>^
array<T>^	CArray<T>
CArray<T>	array<T>^
array<T>^	CAtlArray<T>
CAtlArray<T>	array<T>^
array<String^>^	CAtlArray<ATL::CStringT<char>>
CAtlArray<ATL::CStringT<char>>	array<String^>^
array<String^>^	CAtlArray<ATL::CStringT<wchar_t>>
CAtlArray<ATL::CStringT<wchar_t>>	array<String^>^
array<T>^	CSimpleArray<T>
CSimpleArray<T>	array<T>^

Other Conversions:

FROM TYPE	TO TYPE
System::IntPtr	ATL::CHandle
ATL::CHandle	System::IntPtr
System::DateTime	SYSTEMTIME
SYSTEMTIME	System::DateTime
System::Object^	IUnknown*
IUnknown *	System::Object^
System::Object ^	com_ptr<IUnknown>
System::Object ^	CComPtr<Iunknown>
System::Object^	VARIANT
VARIANT	System::Object^
System::Guid	GUID
GUID	System::GUID
System::DateTime	CTime
CTime	System::DateTime
System::DateTime	COleDateTime
COleDateTime	System::DateTime

I've pasted the table in as I received it, and linked to things we already have. I'd like to come back to this list and add links as you send me things.

IUnknown * to System::Object^

I was searching around for quite some time to get a solution to this only to find it right under my nose.

LPMAPISESSION ppses;
System::Object ^MAPIOBJECT = System::Runtime::InteropServices::Marshal::GetObjectForIUnknown(System::IntPtr(ppses));

This is from a MAPI project. However, any object that supports IUnknown should marshal to an Object^ without any problems.
