[Mono-list] Marshalling array of structs?

[J. Perkins]

A general C# question, hope it isn't out of place here but I haven't had
much success with the MS folks.

I have a function that takes a generic array (I am using System.Array
right now but I can change that if needed) as a parameter. I know that
it is an array of structs with the LayoutKind.Sequential attribute, but
I don't know their exact format. I can get the stride and length of the
array, so I know how many bytes it takes up. Now I need to copy the
contents of the array to either unmanaged memory or a byte array. I can
call out to a C function if necessary. For the life of me I can't figure
out how to do it. I have tried Marshal.StructureToPtr(),
Buffer.BlockCopy(), and all kinds of MarshalAs attributes but I always
get some type of casting or argument exception complaining about a lack
of layout information.

Has anyone accomplished this, and if so how the heck did you do it? It
seems like it should be possible. Thanks for any advice.
