DllImport prob

pnp
Hi all,

i'm having a problem using DllImport with Win98. It works just fine with XP
& 2000 but in 98 it prompts: "Unable to find xxxxx.dll". Any ideas?

error is: System.DllNotFo undException: Unable to load DLL (etc\fectfmn.dl l).

May be the path is not set for it to automatically pickup dll. Specify the
full path

Try this way

[DllImport("c:\\ myDir\MyDll.dll ")]

The other reason may be the dll does not exists in the system at all. Is it
a system dll you are looking for ?

If the below works for 98 it might break it for 2000 / XP as the dll is
likely in a different place. You might try adding the path to your
enviroment variables PATH

I am extremely frustrated. I am building c# application for a call center and am using a third party API to access some hardware. When develop and test my class using the windows console the application runs flawlessly, but once I call the class from inside a c# windows application the program freezes, crashes etc... there must be a way to make this work inside a windows app as it run great as a command line app.

I'm trying to make a sort of conditional compilation in my C# code because my app is intended to run on both a Pocket PC and on a normal desktop PC. My code uses a call to an API function that on the PPC is located in coredll.dll and on the desktop in kernel32.dll. I could make two versions of the DllImported funktions but then I would have to ask for the OS version in every call to the function. This however causes the code to look messy...

Hello, I have a native, C++ console app that uses ~26MB of RAM when it runs. It uses quite a lot of RAM to make some math but will never xceed 26MB. Now I've made a dll out of this code and use it with DllImport in a C# console application. Basically I just access main() and pass my parameters. w00t! RAM used by the C# app is now 228 MB !

Hello, is it possible to use DllImport to call a DLL in ASP.NET ? Or is it necessarry that my DLL has to be copied into \System32 ? My DLL is a native C++ 7.1 DLL (not managed, no COM, no regsvr32) and uses Assembler to make some math in SSE. The result is given out as an Int. Using a C# console app (code below) it work fine & fast.

Hello, dear all, I often see these two import usage in the code. Both are the interface to use the Dll library. I think they are the same. Normally P/Invoke means using the to import the dll. But I have some confusion about them. 1. Is the "_declspec(dllimport)" also one of the forms of P/Invoke? 2. From performance aspect, which way is more better? 3. What's the difference of them.
