erdosa,

What is the PChar type? I am not familiar with delphi, so can you
indicate what it represents?

Delphi 7 is a native compiler. Do you want to use a DLL made by Delphi 7?
procedure GetNev(s:PChar) ;export;
Yes, it appears so...
Message is: ^’rectangle’. (not "Hello")

Your PChar is porbably not mapped in the P/Invoke correctly. Check to see how
other P/Invokes are handled with PChar. You have to marshal it IIRC since its
not a native type.

PChar is a Pointer to a character. CString that is. Its a pointer which
points to a list of characters terminated by a 0 byte.

Erdosa,

You should specify the stdcall calling convention on your Delphi
method. (The export directive does not need to be specified on the
method, because the "exports GetNev" does the actual exporting):

procedure GetNev(s:PChar) ; stdcall;

The PChar type is not UniCode. PWideChar is. Make sure the
DllImport's CharSet property matches the kind of character pointer
the Delphi method expects.

If GetNev is declared with a PChar parameter, use this DllImport
attribute:

[DllImport( "project1.d ll", CallingConventi on =
CallingConventi on.StdCall, CharSet=CharSet .Ansi)]
public static extern void GetNev(string s);

If GetNev is declared with a PWideChar parameter, use this DllImport
attribute:

[DllImport( "project1.d ll", CallingConventi on =
CallingConventi on.StdCall, CharSet=CharSet .Unicode)]
public static extern void GetNev(string s);

Hope this helps.

Chris.
