c# - How to use a custom array type defined in WSDL? -

trying larn how consume wsdl in delphi 7 application. wsdl i'm trying consume has custom array type.

pascal

arrayofsomething = array of something;

how instantiate array type?

have tried:

pascal

var somethinglist : arrayofsomething; begin somethinglist := arrayofsomething... end;

the ... above means i'm looking method , not finding one. normal way instantiate object like:

pascal

var object : classname; begin object := classname.create; end;

so can see why i'd trying create array in same kind of way, though it's not object.

bear in mind, i'm cribbing c# code , trying create work in pascal. original c# like:

c#

list<something> somethinglist = new list<something>();

and usage like:

c#

envelope.listfield = somethinglist.toarray();

i've tried this:

pascal

var somethinglist : tlist; begin somethinglist := tlist.create; end;

yeah, works until seek feed envelope.

pascal

envelope.listfield := somethinglist;

envelope expecting arrayofsomething not tlist. error "incompatible types, tlist , arrayofsomething."

an array of built-in type, not class. set size, utilize setlength(), e.g.

var arr: arrayofsomething; begin setlength(arr, 273);

also note not same list, array has no built-in way insert or delete values. can read , alter values, or alter size of array, no more.

if want generics, in c#, you'll have utilize higher version of delphi 7. i'm not sure, think introduced in delphi 2010 or delphi xe. guess can update me on (update: david heffernan told me it's version 2009)

in these higher versions, can utilize tlist<t>, want. until then, can utilize tlist, holds pointers (but not straight usable in connection wsdls, contents may have moved array first). may have utilize new(), dispose() , casts utilize it.
