Thread: Using c library in C#

First of all, I'm an absolute C# newbie. But I want to start using the language for development. My question is, Can I use a library written for C in C#? If so, can someone provide a simple example on how to do this?

Thanx

Example:

Code:

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace TextColor
{
    class MainClass
    {
        [DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
        public static extern bool SetConsoleTextAttribute(IntPtr hConsoleOutput, int wAttributes);
        [DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
        public static extern IntPtr GetStdHandle(uint nStdHandle);

        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            uint STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE = 0xfffffff5;
            IntPtr hConsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
            for (int k = 1; k < 255; k++)
            {
                SetConsoleTextAttribute(hConsole, k);
                Console.WriteLine("{0:d3}  http://www.cprogramming.com", k);
            }
            SetConsoleTextAttribute(hConsole, 236);

            Console.WriteLine("Press Enter to exit ...");
            Console.Read();
        }
    }
}

BMJ,

Thanx for the example
