C# Struct No Parameterless Constructor? See what I need to accomplish
- by Changeling
I am using a struct to pass to an unmanaged DLL as so -
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct valTable
{
public byte type;
public byte map;
public byte spare1;
public byte spare2;
public int par;
public int min;
public byte[] name;
public valTable()
{
name = new byte[24];
}
}
The code above will not compile because VS 2005 will complain that "Structs cannot contain explicit parameterless constructors". In order to pass this struct to my DLL, I have to pass an array of struct's like so valTable[] val = new valTable[281];
What I would like to do is when I say new, the constructor is called and it creates an array of bytes like I am trying to demonstrate because the DLL is looking for that byte array of size 24 in each dimension.
How can I accomplish this?
