ExtractValueFromArray exception

Archive

I am trying to use GHIElectronics.NETMF.System.Util.ExtractValueFromArray in the GHIElectronics.NETMF.System assembly but I receive the following exception when I use the following code:


 #### Exception System.NotSupportedException - CLR_E_NOT_SUPPORTED (1) ####

float val;
byte[] bytesToConvert = new byte[4] { 68, 47, 0, 0 };
GHIElectronics.NETMF.System.Util.ExtractValueFromArray(out val, bytesToConvert, 0);

Is ExtractValueFromArray (and InsertValueIntoArray) not available for the gadgeteer?

Are you using a FEZ Spider or FEZ Hydra?

Can you post more of your code?

3

Have you tried to insert and then remove?

I am using a FEZ Spider. Steven, that code block is the entire code that does not work. I have also tried to insert a value using InsertValueIntoArray and receive the same exception, here is that code:


byte[] testInsertBytes = new byte[4];
GHIElectronics.NETMF.System.Util.InsertValueIntoArray(10F, testInsertBytes, 0);

Can anyone else try using ExtractValueFromArray or InsertValueIntoArray methods on a spider?

I have tried both insert and remove in a gadgeteer project. Both work for me. Is your project a gadgeteer project? Have you checked to make sure you have the latest firmware?

Here is the code I used:

using System;
using System.Threading;
using Microsoft.SPOT;
using Microsoft.SPOT.Presentation;
using Microsoft.SPOT.Presentation.Controls;
using Microsoft.SPOT.Presentation.Media;
using Microsoft.SPOT.Touch;

using Gadgeteer.Networking;
using GT = Gadgeteer;
using GTM = Gadgeteer.Modules;

namespace forum_extract_test
{
    public partial class Program
    {
        void ProgramStarted()
        {
            byte[] testInsertBytes = new byte[4];
            GHIElectronics.NETMF.System.Util.InsertValueIntoArray(10F, testInsertBytes, 0);

            float val;
            byte[] bytesToConvert = new byte[4] { 68, 47, 0, 0 };
            GHIElectronics.NETMF.System.Util.ExtractValueFromArray(out val, bytesToConvert, 0);

            // Do one-time tasks here
            Debug.Print("Program Started");
        }
    }
}

hrm … just tried your exact code in a new Gadgeteer project and I get the same exception when I use the emulator. When I run on the device it seems to work …

The assembly for the methods is located in: C:\Program Files (x86)\GHI Electronics\GHI NETMF v4.1 SDK\Assemblies\GHIElectronics.NETMF.System.dll and is version 4.1.7.0

Any idea why it does not work in the emulator?

thanks!

GHI libraries do not work in the emulator.
