    SAFEARRAY* arr; int iRes = RestoreFactory(bstrPath, // this function is for c#com object &arr); // Copy SAFEARRAY* values to output int iSize; if ( arr != NULL ) { iSize = arr->rgsabound[0].cElements; BYTE *byteArr = new BYTE[iSize]; for (int i = 0; i < iSize; i++) { byteArr[i] = ((BYTE)((( char *)(*arr).pvData)[i])); } } The byteArr seems to be wrong! Is it the right convertion??? Thanks!

        No. The code you have posted is converting from SAFEARRAY to BYTE[]. Exactly the opposite of your post title. Can you clarify what it is you are trying to achieve? Best Wishes, -David Delaune

          Hello, Yes. You are right. The title is wrong. It should be: "converting from SAFEARRAY to BYTE[]". Do you know if the code is correct? Thanks! :)

            Hi TalSt, Check out this older post [^]where I describe a unique way to build a LPCSTR from a SAFEARRAY. You could use the same technique to convert SAFEARRAY to BYTE. Best Wishes, -David Delaune
