Pass 2D array from LabVIEW to C# problem

[tintin_99]

Hi , I have made a dll using .net assembly to use my labview code in c# . I can easily pass string , numerical and 1D arrays from labview to c# and vice versa, but when I want to read back 2D U16 array from Labview in c# I get the following exception although they have exactly the same type (ushort)

Cannot widen from source type to target type either because the source type is a not a primitive type or the conversion cannot be accomplished.

Could you please let me know how should I pass 2d array from labview to c#
Thanks

Hi Dennis , that problem is fixed( it was not actaully related to data transfer between c# and LabVIEW) but I have problem in passing 2D arrays

The formats are exactly the same but I get this exception in c#

Since the topic was different I thought it is better to create a new topic

I would greatly appreciate any help on this?

If all else fails, you could pass n 1D arrays across and then put the original 2D array back together. That's probably how the computer would do it behind the scenes, anyway.

conversion from string to number is not that important, I can do it later. My problem is right now how to split the string( every 8 chars or every 4 chars) and insert them in the next columns ( the same row). Can you help me to do this?

I tried using split string but then how can I move it to the next cube?
