4.4 Step 4: Implementing the MyEngineDotNetAccess
The fourth step is to implement the MyEngineDotNetAccess class (Figure 10).
Fig 10. MyEngineDotNetAccess class
The MyEngineDotNetAccess has two purposes: to change the calling conventions to C# conventions and to change error messages into .NET exceptions.
The listed code below shows the Simple River example code for a MyEngineDotNetAccess class that implements the Initialize method, the performTimeStep method and the Finish method. In each of these methods the corresponding method in the MyEngineDLLAccess class is called and, if this method returns false, the error message from the engine is queried through the GetMessage method (following which an exception is created and thrown).
