C#-WinCE5.0 - Creating a custom DLL for DLLIMPORT

[Plater]

I am having trouble finding examples of creating your own .DLL for use with the DLLIMPORT function.
All I can find is an MFC dll which has so much overhead it's rediculous.
I just need two c++ functions to be available to me through the DLLIMPORT.

Here are my psuedo-code prototypes for the two functions:

bool WriteLocalBus(INT32 Address, UIN16 Data);
UINT16 ReadLocalBus(INT32 Address);
 

Now I need a .dll that implements them and allows me to import the functions into a C# project.

Anyone have any insight they can offer?

Are you creating the C++ functions yourself? Is there a reason why you cannot write these in C#?

I believe that you will need to utilize the DllExport keyword in your DLL code in order to be able to import the functions using DllImport.

But if you are using VS2003/VS2005, I believe you can just include the C++ project in your solution, and add that project as a reference to your C# project. Then use the extern keyword in the declaration.

Hope this is a push in the right direction,

I was writing both the C# and C++ parts and ended up using the MFC DLL. Yes, I needed to use the DLLEXPORT, it is working now.
It's a hog, almost 2megs to run 3lines of code but I cannot do direct memory acces in C# in seems.

Yikes!

Glad you got it figured out though.
