Hi,

I try to call c function in C#,What is the syntax of
DllImport's EntryPoint field?
Why some of extern method need to point out this field
while some of them do not need?

In my project,
A C function defination is
//****************
__declspec(dllexport) SbVec2s
SoWinFullVwrGetViewportRegionSizePixels(SoWinFullViewer*
pViewer);
//****************

The corresponding C# wrapper is
//****************
[DllImport
("InventorCD.dll",CallingConvention=CallingConvention.Cdecl
,EntryPoint="?SoWinFullVwrGetViewportRegionSizePixels@@YA?
AVSbVec2s@@PAVSoWinFullViewer@@@Z")]
protected static extern SbVec2s
SoWinFullVwrGetViewportRegionSizePixels(System.IntPtr
pViewer);
//****************

The code is fine to run.

But when I try to change the C function defination to
//*****************
__declspec(dllexport) SbVec2s
SoWinFullVwrGetViewportRegionSizePixels(SoWinFullViewer*
pViewer, int iTest);
//*****************

Making no change to the C# wrapper, calling the C# wrapper
will throw exception as,
"
An unhandled exception of
type 'System.EntryPointNotFoundException' occurred in
openinventor.net.dll

Additional information: Unable to find an entry point
named ? in DLL InventorCD.dll.
"
I think I should modify the DllImport.EntryPoint value,
but how to do it? the working code is got from somewhere
else, not written by me.

Thanks,

Hi,

Seems like EntryPoint field should be updated, it's due to the fact C
decorated name used, and after function parameters changed, decorated name
changed as well. For example run the following command line:

undname
?SoWinFullVwrGetViewportRegionSizePixels@@YA?AVSbVec2s@@PAVSoWinFullViewer@@
@Z


it outputs:

Undecoration of :-
"?SoWinFullVwrGetViewportRegionSizePixels@@YA?AVSbVec2s@@PAVS
oWinFullViewer@@@Z"
is :- "class SbVec2s __cdecl SoWinFullVwrGetViewportRegionSizePixels(class
SoWin
FullViewer *)"


See "dumpbin /EXPORTS " or Dependens VS tool allow to find exported function
name.
