Object

Implements

IMathLinkGetObject

Remarks

This method works to read any expression that has a "natural" mapping into a .NET type. The following table shows how expressions are read:
Incoming Wolfram Language expressionRead as:
IntegerInt32
RealDouble
True or FalseBoolean
Nullnull
String or SymbolString
Complex numberComplex type
FunctionArray
NETObjectthe .NET object it refers to
This behavior is exactly like the version in the IMathLink interface except that it addds the ability to read NETObject expressions as the objects they refer to. In other words, you can read .NET objects sent from the Wolfram Language.

You must call EnableObjectReferences before you can send or receive object references.

Exceptions

MathLinkExceptionIf the waiting data cannot be read in this format, or on any other MathLink error.
