I have a COM object (C#, visual studio) with a function that takes a two dimensional array as an in parameter. When I want to access this function via Agilent VEE is is not visible in the Function & Objects browser, and not accessible. If I change the array to be single dimension, is becomes visible right away.

I have heard that VEE is not good for dealing with two dimensional arrays, but there should be a workaround.

Anyone that knows anything about making com objects with two dimensional arrays visible from vee?
Best regards,
AK

    COM Automation supports SafeArray as the wrapper type for arrays. The CLR interop layer for COM automatically generates them from a C# array type. But they are equivalent to multi-dimensional arrays, not jagged arrays. There is no equivalent automation type for arrays-of-arrays, they’ll be exposed as a single dimensional array of variants where each variant is an array.

    Enough to trip up a COM client, perhaps, the syntax gets hairy.
