Flush in Hdf5DotNet

I'm trying to flush a file in Hdf5DotNet 1.8.8, but H5F.flush only accepts an H5ObjectId argument. How do I use it with an H5FileId? I looked for an interface but there didn't seem to be one.

Karl, yes, this is a known problem and we'll address it as soon

as we get around to it. As a workaround, you can use the Id property (of
hid_t)

of a FileId object and call H5Fflush directly.

[DllImport("hdf5dll.dll", CallingConvention=CallingConvention::Cdecl)]

extern "C"

    herr_t _cdecl H5Fflush

    (

    hid_t object_id,

    H5F_scope_t scope

    );

Best, G.

Yes! That worked! Thanks. I'm adding my code below for posterity.

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

Module NativeMethods
       <DllImport("hdf5dll", SetLastError:=True, _
       CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.Cdecl, CharSet:=CharSet.Ansi)> _
       Public Function H5Fflush(ByVal id As Int32, ByVal scope As Int32) As Int32
       End Function
End Module

...

NativeMethods.H5Fflush(f.Id, H5F.Scope.LOCAL)
