Running Matlab Code from dot net

Question

I've compiled a little program using matlab 2013 I can see in my dll: Test.TestMethods all my functions

I've added it as a reference to my dot net project, and added the MWArray dll from matlab bin\win64\v2.0 folder.

** Update: The app crushes at this line in the matlabe generated code:

mcr= new MWMCR("", ctfFilePath, embeddedCtfStream, true);

If I embed the ctf file - it will crush, if I don't embed it, it will throw an exception.

I've set my program to build against X64.

Once I try to create the object:

Test.TestMethods test = new Test.TestMethods();

My App crashes. I can only see in external Visual Studio instance:

Unhandled exception at 0x0000000001D36E60 (m_interpreter.dll). 
Access violation reading location 0x00000000A5CE3920.

I have no idea where to start....

EDIT1: this is the ctor (there is also a static cctor):

    .method public hidebysig specialname rtspecialname 
        instance void  .ctor() cil managed
{
  // Code size       20 (0x14)
  .maxstack  8
  IL_0000:  ldarg.0
  IL_0001:  call       instance void [mscorlib]System.Object::.ctor()
  IL_0006:  ldsfld     class [mscorlib]System.Exception Test.TestMethods::ex_
  IL_000b:  brfalse.s  IL_0013
  IL_000d:  ldsfld     class [mscorlib]System.Exception Test.TestMethods::ex_
  IL_0012:  throw
  IL_0013:  ret
} // end of method TestMethods::.ctor

Your question is a little vague. What is `Test.TestMethods`? Is `MWArray` a managed dll or native? How are you calling into `MWArray`? Can you post the code from `TestMethods`s' constructor? — Tejas Sharma, Jun 20 '13 at 17:21
this is a generated function by the matlab compiler. I can try to ildisasmble it.. — Dani, Jun 20 '13 at 17:26
Hmm well just make sure you've copied over ALL dependencies into your current working directory (eg. `MWArray` might have a dependency on one of the other dlls present in the matlab folder). Try copying over all the dlls and see if that makes a difference. — Tejas Sharma, Jun 20 '13 at 17:29
Have you tried http://ilnumerics.net? I never touched the whole Matlab compiler thing again and use only pure managed code since then. little reason to continue to torture yourself ... just my 2C — user492238, Jun 20 '13 at 17:48
Checking, but i hope to be able to run matlab from dot net... it can't be that difficult. — Dani, Jun 20 '13 at 17:51
Dont know whether that applies to you.. in a project I am aware of, the problem is that dependencies need to be created when starting an app for the first time (you will see a generated subfolder), for the second run from same folder, everything is fine. (In the end, it looks like MCR is a lot of hassle. Still no solution for that problem.) — Andreas Reiff, Jul 03 '13 at 20:15
Yep, generated folder with _mcr suffix is created. But application is still crashing during a MCR initialization: new MWMCR(..) with an access violation error inside m_interpreter.dll — Konstantin Tarkus, Jul 09 '13 at 02:26

You cannot call MATLAB generated .NET libraries from .NET 4.5 assemblies, also it crashes when VS debugger is attached.

My application is targeted for .NET framework v4.6.1 and it crashes exactly at the point where a new object for the class exported by MATLAB, is instantiated. Once I moved down to .NET framework v4.0, it worked. – Rajaraman Subramanian Nov 01 '17 at 11:43
