intptr use in lab view

[gerhilein]

Hi Guys

I am trying to use test stand as a sequencer for a camera module test (>5Mpix). My .dll for the camera enable to store an image inside the memory. I am using  .net allocCo TaskMem to allocate the memory (returns an intptr), after this store the image to the memoryI would like to hand over the intptr pointer to a labView VI to do image processing. There I have the problem, I can not get the data the pointer points to into an labView array.I hand over the pointer as int32  to the VI, convert it to a intptr again with .net constructor node system.intptr and input it to a .net Marshal.copy(inptr, byte, int32, int32) and copy it to an array. this does not work and it seems to me that the pointer does net get understood by labview. 

I hope I did not confuse you guys too much and you understand my problem.

But why are you using .net for this?

Wouldn't it be much easier to: allocate a large array in LabVIEW. Pass that
one to the dll. Fill the memory in the dll. Read it as an array in LabVIEW?

I can't help you with the .net stuff.
