Well if you want to create a matrix in C#, why not just import the points and make the matrix internally? I'm not sure what matrix type you need, but it's fairly trivial to convert a point list into a matrix...

The problem is that I have a program ready but another language .I try to converting it to VB OR C# but foiled, maybe because I do not know programming in this program. I tried to find books or research explains how programming in Grasshopper but I can not find the source can help me do you know anything can explain the programming method?

What programming language do you need? Know? Have? Do you have an application you want to communicate with? Or maybe a dll? Or maybe you have source code?

You can use the Reflect() method in a C# component to find out what type certain data is and what methods are available on it. In this case, if you plug a Matrix into a C# component you get a Rhino.Geometry.Matrix instance.

This type provides access to all the matrix cells, as well as several useful methods and operators.
