Passing of Array

[Logan from Singapore]

Hi, I had been trying to find methods to pass array from a COM DLL and had come across 2 ways of doing it. method(SafeArray(Type) **pVal); method(Variant *pVal); What is the different between passing the array out as a SafeArray and as a Variant? What is the advantage of using either of them? Are both methods supported by all technologies like .Net, Java, etc...?

Thanks for replying. I also happened to read about this in your interest exchange below after I had posted the thread. This had cleared my doubts on why people are passing it as a Variant:-D.
