Importing a win32 dll in C#

[yeah1000]

Hello, i need to import a win32 (unmanaged) dll in C#, can it be done and what would be the best way to do it? TY

Hi, I don't know about importing a DLL, however you can call unmanaged functions using P/Invoke. I have been writing this little article[^] on the subject, it isn't finished yet, but it may offer an introduction. :)

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that.

it can be done as described in the others answers, but consider it is a lot of writing boring code so really think what you need and what not. Because degrees performance, consider writing a wrapper dll which will do some stuff. Tip: Strings with StringBuilder and size as parameter :thumbsup:

which dll you want to use? Is it system dll or else?
