problem using StgOpenStorage()

bhumesh

Hello, I am using the Marshalling of StgOpenStorage in my program. It is giving me the error Error as: The type or namespace name 'IStorage' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?). Can I have a solution for this, please?

The ref pages say you need Ole32.dll

But here I am already calling the function as below:
[DllImport("ole32.dll")]
static extern int StgOpenStorage(
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] string pwcsName
, IStorage pstgPriority
, STGM grfMode // Access Method (uint)
, IntPtr snbExclude // Must be NULL
, uint reserved // Reserved
, out IStorage ppstgOpen); // Returned Storage

So what could be the problem? The error is also raised on STGM enum. Am I supposed to give additional import statements? Please reply.

You must define IStorage using another declaration - here is a VB version that I once wrote in one of my apps;

If you put your cursor over IStorage, the last letter will probably be underlined, which will give you a little drop down box. You get to pick if you want to add the namespace or enter a full reference to the class
