How to fix ''Cannot convert MWArray to requested type"
I'm starting to set up a WCF Server for a Matlab application, and would like to receive a struct back using the Microsoft WCF Test Client. I need help passing a Matlab struct back successfully.
I'm following instructions provided by MATHWORKS:
https://www.mathworks.com/help/compiler_sdk/dotnet/create-windows-communications-foundation-based-components.html#bsuwtjv
I am using Windows 10, VS 2017, Community edition. For Matlab I am using:
<MathWorks_version_info>
<version>9.5.0.944444</version>
<release>R2018b</release>
<description></description>
<date>Aug 28 2018</date>
<checksum>1708982227</checksum>
I have been able to successfully communicate across WCF using a simple string reply. I can pass data into Matlab, and generate a simple graph. However, when I try using the Matlab return through a struct, I can not seem to get past the error described below.
Matlab Function:
function y = callMATLABfunction( x )
clearvars -except x; close all;
if nargin == 1 && ~isempty(x)
if isnumeric(x)
[...]
y.Completion = 1;
y.Result = 'FirstCompletion';
y.Message = 'Success';
else
[...]
y.Completion = 1;
y.Result = 'SecondCompletion';
y.Message = 'Success';
end
else
y.Completion = 0;
y.Result = 'Error';
y.Message = 'Please supply one input variable';
end
end
IMatlabInterface.cs:
using System;

using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using MathWorks.MATLAB.NET.Arrays;

y callMATLABfunction(System.String x);
}
[KnownType(typeof(y))]

public class y
{
[DataMember]
public double Completion { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string Result { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string Message { get; set; }
}
}
I expected to see the return struct in Microsoft WCF Test Client. Instead, I get:
Cannot convert MWArray to requested type

I have made a test ,even when I use c# struct or c# class or combine c#struct with c# class, I could call the service successfully. [DataContract] public struct Y { [DataMember] public double Completion; [DataMember] public string Result; [DataMember] public string Message; } Maybe the problem is with the convert from matlab type to c# type, you could refer to the link below link
