Exception EntryPointNotFoundException

I am trying to call into an unmanaged C++ DLL that exposes 1 function (using
__stdcall) defined as follows in a header:

BOOL BROWSE_API BrowseForData(HWND hwndOwner, LPWSTR defaultComment, LPWSTR
intialDirectory, LPWSTR path, int length);

BROWSE_API is the standard __declspec(dllexport) definition.

I can call the function from another unmanaged application without any
problems. However I get an EntryPointNotFoundException whenever I call from C#

In my C# program I have the function declared as:
[DllImport("DBBrowser.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Unicode)]
public static extern int BrowseForData(IntPtr hwndOwner, string
defaultComment, string intialDir, StringBuilder path, int length);

The first two strings are really inputs, and originally defined as LPCWSTR
in the C++ function, but that didn't work either.

Any help on this would be appreciated greatly!

Thanks in advance,
Ben
