System.OutOfMemoryException when getting string array from c++ on c#

Viewed 1255

My C++ function

    void FillArray(wchar_t** arr)
    {
         // some code
         for(i= 0;i<end;++i)
         {
             wcsncpy(arr[i],InforArray[i],MaxLength);
             count++;
         } 
     }

My C# signature is

[DllImport("Native.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode,EntryPoint = "FillArray")]
        internal static extern void FillArray(
            [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray, ArraySubType=UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] 
            IntPtr[] OutBuff);

And the C# code itself:

int maxLen = 256;


int count = GetPropertyCount(ref eData);
IntPtr[] buffer = new IntPtr[count];
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
     buffer[i] = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(maxLen);

FillArray(buffer);

string[] output = new string[count];

for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
      output[i] = Marshal.PtrToStringUni(buffer[i]); 
      Marshal.FreeHGlobal(buffer[i]);
}

The data is populated with no problems in c++ loop, but when exiting FillArray I got "An unhandled exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' occurred"

Any ideas why?
