Do I need to care about the calling convention in c# when I use a

hi,all

I use a c++ (build in vc6) dll in c#, do I need to care about the calling
convention? Cause it always gives me a unexpected calling!
I used it in c# like this:
[DllImport("mydl .dll")]
public static extern string GetMC(string strID1, string strID2);

private void button6_Click(o bject sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
.........
string strMC = GetMC(str1,str2 );//here, it show a error, External
component has thrown an exception.
}

I don't know what is wrong. I use it in vc6 project, no problem.
In mydll.dll, the GetMC was defined like: CString WINAPI GetMC(CString str1,
CString str2)

Thanks

I'm trying to use a DLL, but when I try to run it from Visual Basic by going to Run > Start I get a 'Bad DLL Calling Convention' error when I try to access a function inside the DLL.

Does anybody have any idea what is wrong. Thanks This is the calling convention...

I've read calling conventions to be the order(reverse or forward) in which the parameters are being read & understood by compilers. For ex. the following function. int Add(int p1, int p2, int p3); The parameters here can be read either in the forward order from p1 till p3 or reverse order from p3 till p1. Can anyone explain what is the advantage/disadvantage of either of

Forgive me if my post seems a little amateurish... I'm requesting assistance from some of you smart folks out there to get the managed calls write that meet the specification in the esa.h for Esa_Init. When I make a call, VS2005 reports "AccessViolationException" and refers to the 4th parameter (EsaT_State_Handle). I don't know how to define nor pass this reference correctly to the legacy DLL. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in...

Hi, the following is the definition for calling convention ,which I have seen in a text book, can anyone give a more detailed explanation in terms of ANSI - C "the requirements that a programming system places on how a procedure is called and how data is passed between a calling program and procedures are called calling conventions"

Hi there, This is my first post over here and I hope someone can give me some guidance. I'm trying to embed Python into a Visual C++ 2008 application and I'm getting linker problems. I've compiled a DLL of the Python source code using the pythoncode VC++ project in the PCbuild folder of the source download and this works 100% without any warnings etc. I've done this in Debug and Release mode without any problems.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
