How can I save/load a .NET array to a .MAT file? I always get errors when trying to load the data after it has been saved e.g.
>> dArray = NET.createArray('System.Double', 2);
>> dArray(1) = 1.1;
>> dArray(2) = 2.2;
>> save dArray.mat dArray
>> load('dArray.mat')
Warning: Cannot load an object of class 'Double[]':
No matching constructor signature found.

It's perhaps kind of a pain, but you could cast the array to a Matlab double array prior to saving and then cast it back to a .NET array after loading. You could do something like
mat_Array = double(dArray);
save dArray.mat mat_Arry
load('dArray.mat');
dArray = NET.convertArray(mat_Array);
Alternatively, you could try to install System.Double into the Global Assembly Cache. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6axd4fx6.aspx for information on how to do that. That might then allow Matlab to find the constructor for the System.Double[] object, but I'm not sure.
Good luck.

What happens if you try to load the MAT file after using NET.addAssembly() to add your NET classes to Matlab's cache?
Another option might be to compile your custom .NET classes such that they are installed into the GAC.

Can you put your .Net array inside a scalar wrapper object? Something like
Public Class ArrayWrapper
Public CustomArray() As CustomClass
End Class
and then try to save an instance of the ArrayWrapper class? Not sure if it will work for you, but I have used a similar work around for a different problem in the past.
