Good day sirs,
I am currently working on creating windows GUI software for a hardware device. The hardware's functions are stored in a DLL. Here is the structure for a function I need to import - CustomType CustomFunction (CustomType1, CustomType2)
I use DLLImport to import functions. It seems to work as long as the functions all use default types like int, char and others. My question is how will I go around importing functions which use custom types?
This is what I'm doing right now -
[DllImport("stapi.dll")]
-
LPSKYETEK_DEVICE;
-
-
[DllImport("stapi.dll")]
-
static extern int SkyeTek_DiscoverDevices(LPSKYETEK_DEVICE **lpDevices);
-
It really is not working at all. Some errors include the ff
- "The type of namespace name 'LPSKYETEK_DEVI CE' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"
- "Cannot take the address of, get the size of, or declare a pointer to a managed type ('LPSKYETEK_DEV ICE')"
I'm using Visual C# Express Edition 2008 on a Windows XP machine. I have .NET 3.5 installed.
I am extremely unfamiliar with Windows Development as all my prior programming work has been with assembly, Java and Matlab. This has also been the first time I used Visual Studio. Thanks for your help!

Any help here? Would really appreciate any input. This has been bugging me for days already. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have a scenario where I have a master schema that defines a
number of complex and simple types. I then have a number of other
schemas (with different namespaces) where I would like to reuse some
of these master complex and simple types. This I believe will assist
me in transforming between the master schema and the other smaller
schemas that contain a subset of the elements in the master schema.
I understand that I can import an...

I have a .txt file that I need to add to an existing table, which is
made up of Varchar, Char, numeric and int fields.
What is the best way to do it.
The first thing I tried was importing the .txt file, and then going
into the design and changing the field type, but I hit problems on the
Numeric fields.
Then I tried changing the field types from varchar to different types
at the transfom stage of importing, but that failed too.

What do others do if you need to import excel files into SQL Server?
My main problems are
1) zipcode formatting issues. If the column is a mix of zip and zip+4,
I have problems retrieving all zipcodes.
2) If the last column contains NULL no information is imported.
All this with using the Management console using Import data in SQL
Server 2005. I am simply trying to import the data into NEW databases.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
