There are a number of types that simply don't work or work very badly inside of Visual FoxPro. For example, the .NET System.Guid type cannot be returned into Visual FoxPro and accessed directly - it simply crashes when accessed in any way in FoxPro. Arrays are another problem type because FoxPro's limited support for array management functions that don't map directly to COM's referenced based arrays.

As a workaround wwDotNetBridge provides a few wrapper types that can act as a bridge to accessing these types inside of Visual FoxPro. These types are available on calls to InvokeMethod, SetProperty and GetProperty which automatically translate inbound parameters and result values to these specialty types. They are NOT available on direct calls on .NET object instances.

For example, if you call a method that takes a Guid parameter, pass a ComGuid instance instead and wwDotNetBridge will automatically convert the ComGuid into a .NET Guid structure. If a function or value returns a ComGuid your FoxPro code automatically receives the ComGuid wrapper type.

The following wrapper classes are available:

Wrapper Class	Description
Class ComArray
Class ComValue

In addition wwDotNetBridge also fixes up binary parameters passed .NET which are passed as SafeArrays by FoxPro and which are not correctly read as byte[] in .NET. The conversion fixes up the plain arrays into proper binary data arrays.
