Hi Dotnetjunky,

Platform Invocation is the right way to go. Normally people called it P/Invoke.

Keyword used: DllImport

1 short example calling a custom made C Dll:

// Entrypoint here means ordinal. To know the ordinal, use dependency walker to
// check. It is part of visual studio 6.0.
[DllImport("abc.dll", EntryPoint="#5", CharSet=CharSet.Unicode, ExactSpelling=true)]
private extern static int CallValue(ushort u16Port, ref ushort pHandle);

It will work with win32 dlls. Just you had to be careful what kind of data types of be used.

Hope it helps.
