Methods that are static do not require an instance of a class. Look at the
Math class for example. It's methods are all static and can be callled using
Math.Atan2(...) etc.
When you create your class as a placeholder for your interop imports you can
just invoke them using the name of the class followed by the method. For
example...
class MyNativeMethods
{
[DllImport(""user32.dll")]
public static extern IntPtr GetDC(intPtr hWnd);
}
// in your code....
IntPtr hDC=MyNativeMethods.GetDC(this.hWnd);
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply Bob,
But my issue is, I dont know how to instantiate that class I created in
my form1.cs and where should I do this. If possible could you give me a
small piece of code to get me started. I already placed the dll imports in
a class.

what you suggest.

Newbie here needs a little help.
Here is my issue.
I want to place all my dll import data into class called
testdllimport.cs
Then I want to call, reference, or instantiate the class in my

Is this possible.
Thanks in advance.
