[p4] P4COM confusion

[Greg Whitfield]

You could try using P4.NET that Shaun Hladky has just released. Here's a
snip from his recent announcement:

-----------------------------------------------
P4.Net is a Perforce API for the Microsoft .Net (CLR).  It's interface is
similar to P4Python/P4Ruby/P4Perl.

Highlights:
*Support for Framework versions 1.1 and 2.0.
*Results can be streamed as "pre-parsed", and are abstracted to "Recordsets"
and "Records".
*Direct manipulation of forms (p4 client, branch, user, etc.).
*Connections are auto-managed (no need to set "ParseForms" or "Tagged"
APIs).
*P4PendingChangelist object makes submitting changes a snap.
*xcopy deployment... no dlls to register.
*Sample Apps, including MSBuild custom tasks

Documentation:

Distribution (binaries, chm help file, and sample applications)
ftp://public.perforce.com/guest/shawn_hladky/P4.Net/dist/P4.Net.zip

If you are only using P4COM as glue, it maybe worth going direct.

Subject: [p4] P4COM confusion

Hi all,
I'm new to Perforce development, so be gentle. I'm using P4COM to write a
Perforce tool in C#. I want to get a list of the depots in "tagged" form, so
I use the following code:

...
perforce.Tagged();
perforce.Connect();
perforce.ExceptionLevel = 1;
Array output;
output = perforce.run("depots");
...

But the output string just contains the non-tagged data. So I figured I'd
need to use get_ArrayVar(), but I've no idea what array var to use! Is there
any documentation on how this function works and what the valid inputs are?
I still don't quite have the knowing of the Perforce API/P4COM, so I'm
probably missing something simple :s
