Question

BYTE* pImageBuffer = NULL;
    eResult res = PlayerLib::CreateImageSnapshot( iPlayerRef, eBMP, &pImageBuffer );
   if( res > 0 )
     { 
         ....                                    // do something with the image
          WriteFile(FileHandle, pBuffer, eRes, NULL, NULL);
          ReleaseImageSnapshot( pImageBuffer );   // free the image buffer in not longer needed!
     }

here i can receive the image data in pImageBuffer and i could do the some image process

the same way I have tryed in c# like

 [DllImport("PlayerLib")]
   public static extern int CreateImageSnapshot(int iPlayerRef, eImageFormat imgFormat,byte[] ppImageBuffer);


byte[] bte ;
CreateImageSnapshot(iPlayerref,eImageFormat.ePNG,bte);

here its giving some unhandeld Exception….. hopefully the problem is in byte[] but i can’t point out…
please help me to overcome it…. thanks in advance

here it shoud return the imagedata in ppImageBuffer… but here it’s giving zero byte only

My suggest to you would be to marshal BYTE ** as ref IntPtr.
Your declaration would be:

[DllImport("PlayerLib")]  
public static extern int CreateImageSnapshot(int iPlayerRef,
                         eImageFormat imgFormat, ref IntPtr ppImageBuffer);

P.S. and sorry for my English, guys 😉
