Viv,

Thanks for the tip. In the meantime, I've decided to switch to sending XML and convert that to a DataTable that I can iterate through. That seems to do the trick for now.

  • Call a DLL method to get a new contact object

  • Call COMARRAY(loDLL,10)

public class MyDll

>        Dictionary<string, List<Contact>> lists = new Dictionary<string, List<Contact>>();
>        public Contact GetNewContact() { return new Contact();}
>       
>        public void AddClientToList(Contact contact,string listName)
>        {
>             if (!lists.Keys.Contains(listName))
>                lists.Add(listName, new List<Contact>());
>            lists[listName].Add(contact);
>        }
>    }
