如何从 Python 将 ulong 类型参数传递给 C# 函数？

Question

From Python, I am calling a C# function which is in a dll. This is done by "python.net". Most of the functions can be called correctly in Python. However, there is one function I have a problem because of data type on the argument.

In C#, there is a function, that takes an unsigned long type:

bool SetValueAsInt64U(ulong rValue);

In Python, I am calling it with

SetValueAsInt64U(22);

This gives the error message: TypeError: No method matches given arguments for SetValueAsInt64U:(<class 'int'>)

I also tried to use the ctypes, and call the function like:

SetValueAsInt64U(c_ulong(22));

This gives a similar error: TypeError: No method matches given arguments for SetValueAsInt64U: (<class 'ctypes.c_ulong'>)

For more information, I am showing a correct call. In C#, there is another function with signed argument:

bool SetValueAsInt64(long rValue)

In Python, I can call the function without any error message, for example:

SetValueAsInt64(-5);

So the question is how can I call the C# function with the unsigned type of argument from Python?

Answer 1

在这种情况下，我要做的就是重载该方法以接受 int 参数，如果达到最大 int 范围 2,147,483,647，python 会将其解析为 ulong。

Answer 2

Use numpy.

import numpy as np

dp.SetValueAsInt64U(np.uint64(22));

This approach does not need to change C# code. It is a solution in Python code.
