加载/卸载带有C＃问题的C dll

Question

I'm having problems with external native DLL.

I'm working on ASP.NET 1.1 web application and have this DLL which I load through DLLImport directives.

This is how I map DLL functions:

    [DllImport("somedllname",  CallingConvention=CallingConvention.StdCall)] 
    public static extern int function1(string lpFileName,string lpOwnerPw,string lpUserPw);

    [DllImport("somedllname",  CallingConvention=CallingConvention.StdCall)] 
    public static extern int function2(int nHandle);

I call the dll methods and all works great, but I have problems with this DLL crashing my web site on some cases, so I would like an option to unload the dll after I use it.

I found a solution at this link, but I don't have 'UnmanagedFunctionPointer' attribute in .NET 1.1 available.

Is there a way I can achieve what this guy did with his example?

Answer 1

我不确定是否有更简单的方法，但是您始终可以加载一个动态加载/卸载另一个引起问题的dll的dll。

Answer 2

Maybe you could wrap the dll with COM and then take advantage of the COM infrastructure to load and unload the DLL... You can then interact with the dll from it's Com Callable Wrapper which is generated when you add a reference to the COM dll. If you really want to get specific about when to unload, after getting a reference to the object, you can specifical call Marshal.ReleaseComObject to release it's reference.

For more information see here... COM Wrappers

For whom it may concern, I found the solution on the following link...

It takes a bit of assembler coding... and it WORKS:)))
