Using DllImport with C# and C

CompiledMonkey · 08-17-2005, 04:41 PM

I’m trying to call functions from a C dll in my C# application. I can get it to work using DllImport but I’m having an issue when a struct is a parameter in the C function call. How can I represent this in C#? Would anyone have any links or other helpful items?

You can build a struct in C# that matches your C struct by using the StructLayout Attribute.
