Correct marshalling

Hi,

I'm currently writing a vb .net project that makes use of a C++ dll. Now,
the problem is that I have a rather big structure filled and defined in VB
that I need to pass to a function in the C++ dll (see below). How can I
ensure that the struct members are passed to the dll correctly?

VB.NET definition:
<StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)> Public Structure TESTSTRUCT
Public a1 As Boolean
Public a2 As Boolean
[...lots of boolean declarations]
Public testint As Integer
End Structure
Thanks a lot for any help

Peter
