Importing C Function

[Dan]

I am attempting to use a function written in C and complied to a C dll in my C# project. The function I am attempting to call returns an integer value and takes, as an input parameter, a value of type IACLIENT. In the header file for this function IACLIENT is defined as follows:

typedef void NEARPTR * IACLIENT

The problem I have is in trying to determine how to translate the C type into C#. I am not familiar with the term NEARPTR and I was not able to find any information via google. Any help is appreciate. Thanks!

Dan,

It looks to me that you should use IntPtr for types of IACLIENT.

Hope this helps.

Dan,

Go through the enum list of System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanageType

and as well go through static methods of unmanage conversion class
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal
