How to convert Matlab cell string array to .NET string array

Question

I have my cell array (89*1 cell) in Matlab that I want to convert into .Net string array (string[]). I'm using next code:

 b = NET.createArray('System.String',length(a));      
 b = NET.convertArray(a{1},'System.String');

In the result I catch next message: Conversion from 'cell' array type is not supported.

If i do: a = {'hello', 'world'}; b = NET.createArray('System.String',length(a));b = NET.convertArray(a{1},'System.String'); I get the error: Conversion from 'char' array type is not supported. — Jørgen

According to the documentation net.convertArray is for converting numeric data.

This seems to what you want:

a = {'hello', 'world'};
b = NET.createArray('System.String', numel(a))
for i = 1:numel(a)
    b(i) = a{i};
end

I don't know if there is a faster/easier way.
