IMathLink.Put Method (Object)

Sends an object, including strings and arrays.

[Visual Basic]
Sub Put( _
ByVal obj As Object _
)

[C#]
void Put(
object obj
);

Parameters

obj: The object to send.

Remarks

Only a limited set of .NET objects can be usefully sent across a link with this method. These are objects whose "values" have a meaningful representation in Mathematica:

Type	Sent As:
null	the symbol Null
string	Mathematica string
array	list of the appropriate dimensions
boxed primitive (Int32, Boolean, etc.)	the unboxed value
Expr	expression
Complex class	Complex number

All other objects have no meaningful "value" representation in Mathematica. For these objects, the relatively useless obj.ToString() is sent. The version of Put in the IKernelLink interface, which is the interface most programmers will be using, will put objects "by reference" if they have no meaningful value representation in Mathematica, meaning that they show up as NETObject expressions.

Exceptions

Exception Type	Condition
MathLinkException	On any MathLink error.
