Passing Platform::String^ in a struct to and from WinRT component

Question

Hello Everyone,

I have a value struct in my WinRT component(C++) as follows

public value struct MyStruct
{
int int1;
int int2;
BOOLEAN bFlag1;
BOOLEAN bFlag2;
UINT32 dwValue;
Platform::String^ MyStr;

};

This WinRT component contains an exported function that is responsible for filling this structure. This function is then called from a C# app.

I get the values of all fields except the string MyStr in the C# app. How do I read and write this structure.

Thanks for any help.

Regards.

	public ref class Class1 sealed
	{
	public:
		Class1();
		MyStruct CreateStruct()
		{
			MyStruct s;
			s.int1 = 1;
			s.int2 = 2;
			s.bFlag1 = true;
			s.bFlag2 = false;
			s.dwValue = 0xFF;
			s.MyStr = ref new Platform::String(L"Test String");
			return s;
		}
	};
