.ini files

[Fuhrer]

i want to read .ini files with c# i import using System.Runtime.InteropServices; and i wrote these [DllImport("kernel32")] private static extern int GetPrivateProfileString(string section, string key, string def, StringBuilder retVal, int size, string filePath); StringBuilder stb = new StringBuilder(250); GetPrivateProfileString("HATALAR", key, "", stb, 250, "C:\\Documents and Settings\\......."); i want to use stb it gives me no error but it can't find any thing.my path, key section are true.do i have to import something else? or what must i do?

There's nothing wrong with your code, I've just tried it (see below) and it works fine.

using System.Text; // For StringBuilder
using System.Runtime.InteropServices; // For DllImport

// class declaration and all that jazz here

	\[DllImport("kernel32")\]
	private static extern int GetPrivateProfileString(string section,
		string key, string def, StringBuilder retVal,
		int size, string filePath);

	StringBuilder stb = new StringBuilder(250);
	private void Form1\_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
	{
		GetPrivateProfileString("mySect", "item", "def\_", stb, 250, @"c:\\temp\\myfile.ini");
		stb = stb; // a line for me to set a breakpoint in
	}

I set a breakpoint on the stb = stb; line, and used quick view to look at the object - my INI file data is there. Therefore... double check the path to your INI file, double check the INI file is in the correct format. My enable files looks like this:

[mySect]
item=notDEFAULT

Hope that helps.
