RE: [V8i C#/MDL] Filter Table Names

[quote user="Mark Stefanchuk"] There seems to be some issues with the mdlFilter_getName function[/quote]

Here's the VBA declaration from the MDL help documentation...

Declare Function mdlFilter_getName Lib "stdmdlbltin.dll" ( _
    ByVal pFilterNameOut As Long , _
    ByVal stringSizeIn As Long , _
    ByVal pModelRefIn As Long , _
    ByVal pFilterTableNameIn As Long , _
    ByVal iFilterIdIn As Long ) As Long

pFilterName is, in MDL, a pointer to a Unicode string buffer.  That's called a Long in VBA because VBA doesn't do pointers.

[quote user="Mark Stefanchuk"][DllImport("stdmdlbltin.dll")] public static extern IntPtr mdlFilterIterator_create(int pModelRefIn, IntPtr pFilterTableNameIn);[/quote]

You're being too literal: pFilterTableNameIn is not an IntPtr.  It looks like that in the VBA declaration only because VBA doesn't do pointers.  However, .NET can marshal data between .NET and non-NET libraries.  You should search the web for solutions, but you may find that something like this works...

[DllImport("stdmdlbltin.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
        public static extern IntPtr mdlFilter_getName ( 
        out String filterName, 
        Int32 bufferSize, 
        IntPtr modelRef, 
        String filterTableName, 
        Int32 filterId);

I don't claim to be an expert on this interoperability stuff, so you'll need to search for more info and do some testing.
