Re: PInvoke Marshalling....

Daniel,

Actually, it's not pretty obvious. In C++, long corresponds to a 32-bit
integer, which in C#, is an int. Also, you should declare how your strings
are marshaled in the DllImport attribute. All-in-all, your declaration
should look like this:

[DllImport("Dependencies\\SNAPI.DLL", CharSet=CharSet.Ansi)]
public static extern int SNAPI_SetVersionBuffer(IntPtr DeviceHandle,
StringBuilder pData, int max_length);

Also, if the pData parameter is not going to be written to by the API
function, you can pass it as a string.

Greetings!

I'm trying to call this method in a c# app...

SNAPIDLL_API int __stdcall SNAPI_SetCapabilitiesBuffer(HANDLE
DeviceHandle, unsigned char *pData, long max_length);

So far I've got this:
[DllImport("Dependencies\\SNAPI.DLL")]
public static extern int SNAPI_SetVersionBuffer(IntPtr DeviceHandle,
StringBuilder pData, long max_length);

Keep getting a PInvokeStackImbalance error and I think it's the 2nd
paramter pData because I've referenced the device handler and the long
typedef is pretty obvious.

For the 2nd paramter I've tried the following without success:
byte[]
char[]
string
StringBuilder
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.AnsiBStr)] string

HELP!
Thanks.
Dan.
