I have this giant library, it's static and it's all compiled in __fastcall
fashion.
I can not call any of those functions from winforms...
even doing a wrapper off the main class, I still cant call it....
how do I overcome this issue ?

What about
[DllImport("test.dll", CallingConvention=CallingConvention.FastCall)]

I hear you,
the problem is.
for most of us developers in transition with a bunch of code/legacy.....
we are not encouraged to migrate because there's WAY too much to do to
migrate/migrane !!!
as far as I heard it's possible to do this transition smoothly and
transparently, with IJW, but in my case it's just marketing buzz... it's
more like IJDW (it just doesn't work).
in my current programs,
I only need to #include "mylib.h", add the static.lib to the project
settings and I finally call the damn function.

The fastcall calling convention is not supported by the CLR. If you have
source for the library the easiest thing to do is to recompile it with a
different calling convention.

well the problem is that there is a HUGE amount of merely static libraries
that have been compiled in a __fastcall fashion.
this is my case....
and if I have to sit here and recompile, provided I am lucky eough to have
the code, or create dlls....
it WON'T WORK !!!
sorry to use capital letters, but this is a huge inconveniece that Microsoft
has to overcome instead of kicking programmets in the butt, __fastcall us a
Microsoft invention, they should suppore it somehow....
__fastcall afterall is nothing but a way to pass arguments to the functions,
if I am not mistaken by using registers instead of the stack.
it's simple assembler that I can even write.

So am I safe in assuming that you do not have access to source for this
library? In that case the best you can do is to write a wrapper for this
function.
Whereas fastcall used to have significant benefits several years ago, on
modern architectures it does not tend to be a significant performance win
and marking all functions as fastcall might very well make the application
slower overall. Which is the main reason this calling convention is not
supported in the CLR.

Because it is a valid calling convention. Initially there was some thinking
it might be supported in a future version, but that looks very unlikely now.
In another part of the thread I posted the documentation that stated it was
not supported.
