How can I use Reflection to call a com made by matlab??

[wenshere]

I wrote such code:
Assembly asm = Assembly.LoadFrom(@"Tools.dll");
The Tools.dll is made by matlab, which contain some fuctions wrote in
matlab.
But it throws a System.BadImageFormatException!

How can I call that dll??

The Load methods on the Assembly class are only for managed
assemblies, not for native DLLs.

I don't know enough about Matlab to tell how the libraries work. BUt
if it's a regular Win32 DLL you may be able to use P/Invoke. (Search
the docs for Platform Invoke).

Hi,

Beside of what Mattias said,
IIRC you posted about this a couple of days ago and somebody sent you a
link, it seems that in matlab you can create a COM object with your
functions. if so you need to add the reference to it , to go Project menu/
Add reference/ COM , then select browse and look for your dll ( or your
..tlb ) and the reference. once you get to this point you are ready to go :)
cheers,
