@Rohan - Try converting your cell array into a regular array; also ensure that your array contents can be directly converted into System.Object.A better place for this and similar questions would be on StackOverflow or the CSSM newsgroup or to directly ask MathWorks technical support. This website is not a general Matlab Q&A forum...

I am Beginner to MATLAB. By using the command NET.addAssembly i am loading .NET Assembly. Instantiating the object of Assembly’s class i am invoking the methods of the class.

Passing the parameter such as double, char to method of assembly class its working fine.

But when i am trying to pass cell array to method of instantiated class its showing the error parameter mismatch.

i have done following procedure

s=NET.addAssembly('name of assembly')
t = s.AssemblyHandle.GetType('Class present in assembly');
obj = System.Activator.CreateInstance(t);
obj.PassCellArray(CellArray);

.NET MEthod

public void PassCellArray(System.Object[] dd) {}

As reference from MATHWORKS, using this object passing the Cell array to method which has parameter as System.Object[].

So please help me for how to pass cell array to .NET method.

[...] In earlier posts I showed how to modify the Command Window (CW) text and background color, and a very limited method of displaying red (error) and blue (hyperlinked) CW messages. Since then, I was obsessed with finding a better way to CW display text in any color. After lots [...]

Hi Yair,

Clever use of the tools at hand! We would definitely like to allow users to change the color of their text in the Command Window (this is a frequent request). We’re thinking about more robust highlighting mechanisms now.

Depending on your needs, publishing could also serve as an intermediate solution, as you could embed HTML into your output, which would then be rendered by a web browser.
