How to call Matlab in C#

I have had some difficulty in doing this, mostly due to Matlab's out of data documentation. Here is the low down.

1. In C# add a reference by navigating to Project->Add Reference, then select the COM tab, then select the Matlab Application... At first there was no Matlab entry. I think I fixed this by running "Matlab -regserver" from the command line. This should register Matlab as a COM server.
2. Create a C# Matlab object with this code: private MLApp.MLAppClass matlab
3. Execute matlab code via strings like this: matlab.Execute(string);
4. Retrive data from matlab using the GetFullMatrix command, like this: matlab.GetFullMatrix("variable", "base", ref real, ref imag); where variable is the name of the variable, real is the real part of the variable, image is the imaginary part of the variable.
