Hi,

I'm trying to call an external method in the Mathematica, but I do not know how to do it. Do you have any experience with calling generic methods from Mathematica? Generic methods are a powerful tool, but I do not know how to connect them to Mathematica.

There is the fragment of my code in C# (only for information):

namespace SpaceMyClass
{

public class MyClass 
{
List<object[]> element;
int elementLen = 0;

public void fillElements()
{
… //function for add elements to List 

}

 public T[] column<T>(int x)
        {
            T[] res = new T[elementLen];
            for (int i = 0; i < elementLen; i++)
            {
                res[i] = (T)element[i][x];
            }
            return res;
        }
}
}

I would like to convert this C# code into Mathematica:

SpaceMyClass.MyClass form = new SpaceMyClass.MyClass();
form.fillElements();
string[] st = form.column<string>(0);

I tried this code:

Needs["NETLink`"];
InstallNET[];
LoadNETAssembly[NotebookDirectory[]<>"SpaceMyClass.dll"];  
form=NETNew["SpaceMyClass.MyClass"];
form@fillElements[];

But I do not know how to rewrite last line to Mathematica:

string[] st = myClass.column<string>(0);

Because the code contains <string> and I can not find in Mathematica help or elsewhere how to do it.

I'll be glad for any ideas on how to keep the generics method and use it in Mathematica
