Create Schedule Table with PLin-API

[nuno]

Hello,

I'm having trouble while creating a schedule table with the PLin-API
The client is registered and the hardware is connected, but I keep getting this error:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.MarshalDirectiveException

This is my code:

Code: Select all

      Peak.Lin.TLINScheduleSlot t;
      t = new Peak.Lin.TLINScheduleSlot();
      t.Delay = 10;
      t.Type = Peak.Lin.TLINSlotType.sltUnconditional;
      t.FrameId = new Byte[8];    
      t.FrameId[0] = (byte)0x0b;
      
      Peak.Lin.PLinApi.SetSchedule(m_hClient, m_hHw, 0, ref t, 10);
      Peak.Lin.PLinApi.StartSchedule(m_hClient, m_hHw, 0);

Thanks for you help.

Hello nuno,

There is an error on the .NET declaration of the function SetSchedule. The Problem is the marshaling of the array that contains the schedule slots.

For C#, please change this definition In the PLinApi.cs file:

Code: Select all

       [DllImport("plinapi.dll", EntryPoint = "LIN_SetSchedule")]
        public static extern TLINError SetSchedule(
            HLINCLIENT hClient,
            HLINHW hHw,
            int iScheduleNumber,
            [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray)]
            [In, Out] TLINScheduleSlot pSchedule,
            int iSlotCount);

for this other:

Code: Select all

        [DllImport("plinapi.dll", EntryPoint = "LIN_SetSchedule")]
        public static extern TLINError SetSchedule(
            HLINCLIENT hClient,
            HLINHW hHw,
            int iScheduleNumber,
            [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray, SizeParamIndex = 4)]
            [In, Out]TLINScheduleSlot[] pSchedule,
            int iSlotCount);

That should solve the problem. You have now to change your code in order to give an array of slots to the function:

Code: Select all

      Peak.Lin.TLINScheduleSlot[] t;
      t = new Peak.Lin.TLINScheduleSlot[10];
      t[0].Delay = 10;
      t[0].Type = Peak.Lin.TLINSlotType.sltUnconditional;
      t[0].FrameId = new Byte[8];    
      t[0].FrameId[0] = (byte)0x0b;
      
      Peak.Lin.PLinApi.SetSchedule(m_hClient, m_hHw, 0, t, 10);
      Peak.Lin.PLinApi.StartSchedule(m_hClient, m_hHw, 0); 

Now your code should work. Thank you for reporting this.

Thank you. It is working now.
