Callback Functions

[db_from_mn]

I'm having a lot of difficulty getting even the simplest
callback function (void return, no arguments) to work,
from a dll to C#.
When the callback is invoked from the dll, I get a fatal
error, that shuts down the app.
I suspect that the function pointer is passed incorrectly.
I've studied the documentation, and I seem to have things
configured properly.
Are there any bugs that I need to know of, or any hints,
other than what I've found in the documentation?
Thank in advance,

Dennis

So you're passing out the delegate to unmanaged code?

Can you post some code?

It would help if we could see some code or some snippet that is causing the
error

Here is some code, to illustrate my implementation:

In the dll:
typedef void (CALLBACK * UCANEVENT_CALLBACK)( void );
A function to pass the callback function:
UCAN_API eUCANERROR_T eUCanOpenDriver( UCANEVENT_CALLBACK
lpEventCallbackFn );
Where...
UCAN_API is defined as: extern "C" __declspec(dllexport)
eUCANERROR_T is an enumeration.

In the C# code:
public delegate void UCanEventCallbackDelegate( );
[DllImport("UCanApi.dll")]
public static extern eUCANERROR eUCanOpenDriver(
UCanEventCallbackDelegate lpEventCallbackFn);
(This is defined as a member function of the class
CUCanApi)

UCanEventCallbackDelegate MyUCanEventCallback =
new UCanEventCallbackDelegate( UCanEventCallback );
eError = CUCanApi.eUCanOpenDriver( MyUCanEventCallback );

// Callback implementation
void UCanEventCallback( )
{
....
}

I solved this problem.
I had not created the delegate instance at the class
level, but in the constructor. It was therefore being
claimed by the garbage-collector.
Thanks for your attention.
