Once again I want to try and get my head round Dotnet and maxscript so heres goes ,,,

I would like to use a few functions from a DotNet DLL , so far I have got max script to load the dll using this bit of code .

scriptpath=getdir #scripts
Assembly = dotNetClass "System.Reflection.Assembly"
Assembly.loadfrom (scriptpath + "/new fft/Exocortex.DSP.v1.dll")

but as I know only a small % of anything to do with dotnet Im a bit stuck , I want to pass an array full of data to the FFT function in the DLL and read the data back again. is this something I could do with MaxScript ? I think the function (FFT) I want to use is in the public class (Fourier) but Im not sure how to send data to it of read back from it ?.

as far as I can tell this is the function I want to use ,

public static void FFT(float[],int,FourierDirection)

Could someone please please :) point me the right way to go with this ??

below is a link to the DLL I want to use if thats any help

Thanks for reading and all the best

ok so is there a way I can get max to show me the properties from the DLL
scriptpath=getdir #scripts
Assembly = dotNetClass "System.Reflection.Assembly"
Assembly.loadfrom (scriptpath + "/new fft/Exocortex.DSP.v1.dll")

fft = dotnetClass "Exocortex.DSP.Fourier"
showproperties fft.direction

running the script above gives me this .

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2008\scripts"
dotNetClass:System.Reflection.Assembly
dotNetObject:System.Reflection.Assembly
dotNetClass:Exocortex.DSP.Fourier
dotNetClass:Exocortex.DSP.Fourier
dotNetClass:Exocortex.DSP.Fourier
-- Error occurred in anonymous codeblock; filename: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2008\Scripts\new fft\new fft.ms; position: 244
-- Unknown property: "direction" in dotNetClass:Exocortex.DSP.Fourier
OK

public static void FFT(float[],int,FourierDirection)Your immediate problem deals with trying to pass the float array. I'd do a quick search through the fourms and check out what other people have said about the issue and check back!

I would immeditaly checkout http://forums.cgsociety.org/showpost.php?p=4899360&postcount=95 and see where that gets you
