Question

Like described in the title, is there some library in the Microsoft framework which allows to multiply two matrices or do I have to write my own method to do this? // I’ve got an answer to this by now

Second question:
I wrote this multi class with a MultiplyMatrix method but it doesn’t work like I want to. Can anyone help and tell where I made a mistake?

class multi
    {
        public void MultiplyMatrix(double[,] _A, double[,] _B, int _n, int _m, int _r)
        {
            int n, m, r;
            double si;
            n = _n;
            m = _m;
            r = _r;
            double[,] A = new double[n, m];
            double[,] B = new double[m, r];
            double[,] C = new double[n, r];
            A = _A;
            B = _B;
            try
            {
                for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
                {
                    for (int j = 0; j < r; j++)
                    {
                        si = 0;
                        for (int k = 0; k < m; k++)
                        {
                            si += A[i, m + k] + B[k, r + j];
                        }
                        C[i, r + j] = si;
                    }
                }
                for (int i = 0; i < C.Length; i++)
                {
                    for (int j = 0; j < C.Length; j++)
                    {
                        Console.Write(C[i, j]+" ");
                        if (j % 3 == 0)
                            Console.WriteLine();
                    }
                }
            }
            catch (IndexOutOfRangeException) { } // I always get this exception

        }

    }

I forgot to tell: I want to make a webservice to multiply on it.

Thanks:)

There is nothing built into .NET. You will have to write the multiplication yourself or use some third party library. I’ve blogged about one way to achieve this comparing two different implementations : a standard naive algorithm and one using unsafe code.
