[.net] Marshalling string[] to char**
Author
Ok, I'm working on an OpenGL wrapper for C# (because Tao doesn't play well with x64 if you want to use it to its fullest -- I know you can force a .NET app to run as 32 bit anyway, but I, and many other x64 users, want to actually use the hardware they bought, not sit there running things that are starting to become outdated).
So now I'm trying to implement the ability to start using shaders in it. thus far, I have something along the lines of this going:
everything seems to be working except the functions involving string and StringBuilder (glShaderSource and glGetUniformLocation being the most important). My only guess as to why these don't work would be that it does like converting the string to char[] when using Delegate.DynamicInvoke, but I don't really know of another way to use the function pointers as functions. If that is the reason, could someone please tell me an alternate way of doing it? I'm thinking it doesn't like Marshalling the string[] to the char** that OpenGL is expecting. (If I try making the delegate have char[][] in place of string[] it won't work because Marshalling can't be done on nested arrays)
As a side note: I've already tried looking at the Tao source code but all I can really find is massive numbers of overloads that throw an exception when they are called.
Thanks.

Ah, at last, someone who is writing his own OpenGL bindings for C#!
I have come across the same problem while writing my own OpenGL bindings. While I haven't written the wrappers for the shader functions yet, if I remember correctly char**s should be marshalled as ref strings (or ref StringBuilders) by default, not as string[]s. As I said, I haven't tried this yet, but I'm positive that a reference to a StringBuilder will work ok (well, there's nothing to lose anyway!)
About the exceptions in Tao.OpenGL, they are actually postprocessed into real code by some kind of custom IL tool (because of a limitation of the 1.1 specification or something along these lines.) The 2.0 Tao branch does not suffer from these problems.
How are you loading the OpenGL extensions? I am using the 2.0 function GetDelegateFromFunctionPointer which works very nicely, but I was wondering if there is some other way.

Alright, thanks, I'll give it a try.
And while I know Tao does some post processing to the dll's, the reason it won't work on x64 is because x64 programs can't load x86 dll's, and vice versa.
And I'm using that same method to load GL Extensions, I can't think of another way to do it.
EDIT: Well, it didn't work, I guess I'll have to find another way. But thanks for at least trying to help me.

Where do you find the 2.0 branch of tao? I haven't had any luck compiling tao with .net 2.0, only 1.1, so this would help me a lot (I need signed dlls, so I need to compile them myself).

Well, for those interested, I figured out the problem...I was making the CreateShader delegate call CreateProgram. The lesson of this story is: Copy and Paste is a powerful tool, but it must be used carefully :P
Glad you figured it out! The correct parameter was "string[]" or "ref string"?
RipTorn, I read about the 2.0 branch in the developer forums, though I do not know if it has been checked in yet.

Just FYI DynamicInvoke is pretty slow, so you might want to do some benchmarking to see how it compares with P/Invoke before you spend a lot of time wrapping OpenGL. See Calling Code Dynamically and Dodge Common Performance Pitfalls to Craft Speedy Applications.
Why not design your wrapper like this (the p/invoke definitions may be incorrect):
