Hi Qirong, I give you a very simple but more complete example. I tested this with Matlab R2006b and Visual Studio 2005.

Consider you created a "mydata.mat" file containing a 1x10 double matrix using matlab like this:

>> squares = [1:10].^2
>> save('mydata.mat', 'squares')

You can then use the following C# code to get this data into a .NET double-Array:

namespace csmatio_test
{
    using System;
    using csmatio.io;
    using csmatio.types;

    class Program
    {
        // this array receives the matlab data
        static double[] squares;

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // create a reader for the file
            MatFileReader mfr = new MatFileReader("mydata.mat");

            // get a reference to out matlab 'squares' double matrix
            MLDouble mlSquares = (mfr.Content["squares"] as MLDouble);
            if (mlSquares != null)
            {
                // now get the double values
                double[][] tmp = mlSquares.GetArray();
                squares = tmp[0];
            }
        }
    }
}

So I know that the data is double array, how can I cast the MLArray type into MLDouble type? I tried

MatFileReader mfr = new MatFileReader(currentName);
            foreach (MLArray mla in mfr.Data)
            {
                MLDouble da = mla;
            }

But apparently this doesn't work...
