Thanks for you fast answer.

Thats bad. Ok than I need glue code.

I really need a pointer array.
Example Interface:

interface Echo {
        void echoString(in string input, in long ntimes);
};

This gets mapped to:

void
Echo_echoString(Echo _obj, const CORBA_char * input, const CORBA_long
ntimes,
		CORBA_Environment * ev)
{
   gpointer _args[2];

   _args[0] = (gpointer) & input;
   _args[1] = (gpointer) & ntimes;
...

(from echo-stub.c)

And my code still doesn't work I think it is a problem in the struct
mapping. Maybe a ORBit and P/Invoke god can help me ;)

Thanks for your help
