PInvoke TCHAR[] ??? Having trouble with this.

[Michael]

Hi all,
I'm having trouble PInvoking a TCHAR[ ] within a struct.
I'll paste the specific struct's API definition below.
I've tried so many numerous variations.
The main Win32 error I get is 0x3f0 / 515L which amounts to ERROR_NO_TOKEN.
Every single instance of this in the past was due to mistakes I made while
within PInvoked structs.
Is anybody able to point me to documentation or just tell me outright how to
do this?
I've been PInvoking a bit for the last few months but never ran accross this
specific data type--not until now.
Any questions or request for more info? Feel free to ask away.

Thanks a lot,
-MH
typedef struct _SP_DRVINFO_DAT A {
DWORD cbSize;
DWORD DriverType;
ULONG_PTR Reserved;
TCHAR Description[LINE_LEN];
TCHAR MfgName[LINE_LEN];
TCHAR ProviderName[LINE_LEN];
FILETIME DriverDate;
DWORDLONG DriverVersion;
} SP_DRVINFOR_DAT A, *PSP_DRVINFO_DA TA;

Please show us your C# struct declaration, and the API's declaration (the
DllImport statement).

A win32 error code is a single integer value, but you say ... Win32 error I
get is 0x3f0 / 515L ..., mind to explain what you really mean here?

Willy.

Willy,

Sorry for the confusion. 0x3f0 = 515. I put both depending on what's easier
to recognize.
In the the winerror.h file, it's #defined with 515L. In VS2005 I see it
repored in hex value--
just trying to cover all bases.

the API's declaration is above. My C# declaration is below along w/ the
DllImport of the
function consuming it. My SP_DEVINFO_DATA is used in other Win32 PInvoke
function calls and works so far :).

Thanks,

Hmmm... 0x3fO = 1008 ;-)
Are you sure you pass a valid DeviceInfoSet handle? The error code 1008
cannot be due to an error in SP_DRVINFO_DATA , it's a return argument.

To prove yourself:
Try calling the API passing a IntPtr as third argument (change the API
declaration accordingly)..

Allocate a buffer large enough to hole the structure and pass the IntPtr to
the API.
....
IntPtr DriverInfoData = Marshal.AllocHG lobal(2048);
... SetupDiGetSelec tedDriver(...,. ., out DriverInfoData );
when done, check the return and when OK, marshal the buffer to the structure
using Marshal.PtrToSt ructure.
and free the allocated unmanaged buffer by calling
Marshal.FreeHGl obal(DriverInfo Data);
Some remarks:
- Use the UNICODE version of the API's whenever available and do it
consequetally throughout your code, so here use CharSet.Unicode for both the
API and the structure declaration.

- Make SP_DRVINFO_DATA a structure like :

[StructLayout(La youtKind.Sequen tial, CharSet=CharSet .Unicode)]
internal struct SP_DRVINFO_DATA
