iLogic: How to use GetReferenceKey method

[j.pavlicek]

Hello, my question is ovious:

How to use PartFeature.GetReferenceKey Method?

I tried:

Dim refKey() As Byte
oFeature.GetReferenceKey(refKey)

But Type Mismath.  (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020005 (DISP_E_TYPEMISMATCH)) error was thrown.

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80020005): Type Mismath. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020005 (DISP_E_TYPEMISMATCH))
   at System.RuntimeType.ForwardCallToInvokeMember(String memberName, BindingFlags flags, Object target, Int32[] aWrapperTypes, MessageData& msgData)
   at Inventor.CircularPatternFeature.GetReferenceKey(Byte[]& ReferenceKey, Int32 KeyContext)
   at ThisRule.Main()

I have no idea what to do.

Thanks for help

Hi @j.pavlicek 

Try this 🙂

Dim refKey() As Byte = New Byte() {}
oFeature.GetReferenceKey(refKey)
MsgBox(ThisDoc.Document.ReferenceKeyManager.KeyToString(refKey))

Thanks. You are right. Array is object in VB.net, so it has to be created.

Dim arr() As Byte 'arr = Nothing, but ready to accept an existing Array of Bytes
Dim arr() As Byte = New Byte() {} 'Creates a new (and blank) Array of Bytes and assign it to arr
