struct

Hi,

I have an unmanaged struct I'd like to marshal to c# that looks basically like this:

struct DateTimeStruct{
   double datetimestamp;
};   

struct MyStruct{
   char firstname[40];
   char lastname[40];
   DateTimeStruct bday;
   unsigned integer bool1;
   int val1;
};

What is the the correct c# declaration?

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
