Hello, Newsgroupians:
I have created an unmanaged DLL using Visual Studio 2005, which was created
in Visual C++. I have some functions in the DLL that I am trying to call.
When I "dumpbin -exports ManipLib.dll" I can see all of my exported
functions, which I have defined in my definition file. They are not name
mangled or decorated.
Now, when I call the function in my C# program, I have the following
definition...
[System.Runtime. InteropServices .DllImport(@".\ ManipLib.dll", CharSet =
System.Runtime. InteropServices .CharSet.Unicod e)]
public static extern IntPtr UserFindWindowW (string lpszWndClass);
All UserFindWindowW does is call FindWindowEx(). Now, I know I can import
the user32.dll instead of this, but I have some other methods later that wrap
functionality of what I am going to do to the window, so this is just my base
case, and it doesn't work in Windows 2000.
When I run the program in WindowsXP, the function succeeds and returns an
IntPtr, or handle, to the window I'm looking for. However, when I run the
program in Windows2000, I am constantly receiving a
System.DllNotFo undException: "Unable to load DLL '.\ManipLib.dll ': The
specified procedure could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007F)."
Now, I know the working directory contains the DLL that I have created, for
just prior to making my extern-call, I do a
MessageBox.Show (System.IO.Dire ctory.GetCurren tDirectory()); This shows my
current working directory correctly, which the directory also contains my
ManipLib.dll. As soon as I hit "OK," the exception is thrown as it tries to
call my DLL method.
What would make this program work for all versions of XP that I have tried,
but continually fail for every Windows 2000 version? I've tried 4 computers
with Windows 2000, each has SP4. Thank you for your help.

Not sure what's the issue here. Seems that there is difference in the
way the files are searched.
Try to use this (Remove ".\" before the dll's name)
[System.Runtime. InteropServices .DllImport(@"Ma nipLib.dll", CharSet =
System.Runtime. InteropServices .CharSet.Unicod e)]

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.

Hi ,
Of course sometimes, some of us have these weird DLLImport issues.
I am using Net-snmp library from http://www.net-snmp.org. While
creating a prototype as console application it worked fine, but as
windows application it fails to respond correctly.
Verified by sniffer, the windows app does not even reaches TCP/IP
network layer, and it returns no error.
The function which I imported from this library are:

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.
