Specifies a SafeArray to marshal to unmanaged code.

public:
 static System::Reflection::Emit::UnmanagedMarshal ^ DefineSafeArray(System::Runtime::InteropServices::UnmanagedType elemType);

public static System.Reflection.Emit.UnmanagedMarshal DefineSafeArray(System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType elemType);

static member DefineSafeArray : System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType -> System.Reflection.Emit.UnmanagedMarshal

Public Shared Function DefineSafeArray (elemType As UnmanagedType) As UnmanagedMarshal

Parameters

elemType: UnmanagedType

The base type or the UnmanagedType of each element of the array.

Returns

UnmanagedMarshal

An UnmanagedMarshal object.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

The argument is not a simple native type.

Remarks

The DefineSafeArray method is not a simple native marshal.

Only unmanaged marshal constructs can be made using these static constructors.

Marshaling an array is a more complex process than marshaling an integer parameter. Array members are copied in a specific order so that the other side can reconstruct the array exactly.
