get function name for the GetProcAddress function

I am trying to call a fuction a a C# dll using the
GetProcAddress, but the returned handle is null, wheras
the LoadLibrary of the container dll succeeds, I write
the function name as it is written in ducumentaion, I
tried to use dumpin, but it doesn't show any method name.
what does this mean and how I can call this fucntion

DMamoun,

You aren't going to be able to do this, because you have no way of
dereferencing the pointer that GetProcAddress returns. However, the next
version of .NET will allow you to define a delegate, and then call that
delegate when given the pointer in memory to a function (this will be done
through the Marshal class).

Hope this helps.

Hello, I have some code using LoadLibrary, GetProcAddress and FreeLibrary methods of Win32 API.

I know this functionality already exists in .NET 2.0 via Marshal.GetDelegateForFunctionPointer, but I'd rather not force my users to use a beta framework (not to mention the fact that I'm still using good old vs .net 2002, that refuses to use the 2.0 framework). Specifically, I'm using an external declaration of the Simple Directmedia Library function SDL_GL_GetProcAddress to acquire the procedure addresses of OpenGL extensions. ...

I'm using a .NET Windows Forms Applications project. I'm using LoadLibrary & GetProcAddress to use a DLL function. This is all done in the main cpp file.

I'm guessing I'm not calling this function properly - how can I fix this problem ? When I write a...
