Pass String from Vb.net application to VC++ dll in pocket PC 2003

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi All,

I have created a win 32 dll using Visual Studio 2005 for Smart device and
using pocket PC 2003 SDK.
I am able to call exported function from VB.net and C# application.
If i have integer parameters in my function it works fine. But the problem
is that when i pass string parameter it's value is not passing to VC++ dll
function.
What is the problem?

Sample code of dll :
char* _stdcall getstring(char* str)

{

return str;


}

Sample code of vb.net application

Public Declare Function getstring Lib "mydll.dll" (ByVal pstr As String) As
String

msgbox(getstring("Test String"))



When i debug my dll the value of string parameter is "".

Please reply me soon.

Regards,

Rakesh
