unmanaged var as member of managed class c++

c++-cli, class, declaration, mixed-mode

Solution

You can have .NET basic data types as members of your managed class (static int i), or pointers to anything unmanaged (DWORD* pid, HANDLE* handle), but you're not allowed to have an unmanaged object directly, and the array of integers counts as an unmanaged object for this purpose.

Since the only item giving you a problem here is the unmanaged array, you could switch it to a managed array.

public ref class Klient
{
public:
    Klient(){}
    // zmienne
    static array<DWORD,2>^ klienty = gcnew array<DWORD,2>(41,2);
    static int i = 1;
    static DWORD* pid;
    static HANDLE* handle;

    //funkcje
};

Or, you can declare a unmanaged class, put whatever you need to in there, and have a pointer to it from the managed class. (If you do this in a non-static context, don't forget to delete the unmanaged memory from your finalizer.)

public class HolderOfUnmanagedStuff
{
public:
    DWORD klienty[41][2];
    int i;
    DWORD* pid;
    HANDLE* handle;

    HolderOfUnmanagedStuff()
    {
        i = 1;
    }
};

public ref class Klient
{
public:
    Klient(){}
    // zmienne
    static HolderOfUnmanagedStuff* unmanagedStuff = new HolderOfUnmanagedStuff();

    //funkcje
};
