Hi
Trying to call the following (c++) dll:
void getVersionInfo( long p_lIndex,
char* p_cVersionNumbe r, int p_iVersBufSize,
char* p_cDescription, int p_iDescBufSize,
BOOL& p_bCompulsory );
So, i do this:
[DllImport("myDl l.dll", CharSet=CharSet .Ansi)]
public static extern void
getVersionInfo( long p_lIndex,
ref string p_cVersionNumbe r, int p_iVersBufSize,
ref string p_cDescription, int p_iDescBufSize,
ref uint p_bCompulsory );
uint iCompulsory = 0;
long index = 0;
getVersionInfo( index,
ref sVersionNumber, sVersionNumber. Length,
ref sDescription, sDescription.Le ngth,
ref iCompulsory );
( The dll will try to write to the strings, and iCompulsory )
But is throws with this error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullRef erenceException ' occurred in
TestApp32.exe
Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an
object.
What am i doing wrong?!

Hi JoeB,
Instead of using 'ref string' parameters try using StringBuilder.
[DllImport("myDl l.dll", CharSet=CharSet .Ansi)]
public static extern void
getVersionInfo( long p_lIndex,
StringBuilder p_cVersionNumbe r, int p_iVersBufSize,
StringBuilder p_cDescription, int p_iDescBufSize,
ref uint p_bCompulsory );
Here is a one article about marshaling data types http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/07/NET/
And one excerpt from it :
"...
Once you have established whether the text parameter is input only or
input/output, you can determine which CLR type to use for the parameter
type. Here are the rules. If the string parameter is input only, use the
System.String type. Strings are immutable in managed code, and are well
suited to be used as buffers that will not be changed by the native API
function.
If the string parameter can be input and/or output, then use the
System.StringBu ilder type. The StringBuilder type is a useful class library
type that helps you build strings efficiently, and it happens to be great
for passing buffers to native functions that the functions fill with string
data on your behalf. Once the function call has returned, you need only call
ToString on the StringBuilder object to get a String object.
...."

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
