I want to call .NET dll in my python project. I want to use a function which returns string and gets string parameter. But somehow I cant get the string I can just get the first char of the string and sometimes it raises following error:
'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 1-15: character maps to <undefined>
EDIT : Solved the error by putting some piece of code.
encode(sys.stdout.encoding, errors='replace')
But this time result is not exactly what I want. Result is : b'h\\xe7\\x8c\\x80' with the input "hello"
Here is my code:
import ctypes
import time
hllDll = ctypes.WinDLL ("C:\\Users\\yazilimhpaio2\\Downloads\\mydll.dll")
hllApiProto = ctypes.WINFUNCTYPE (
ctypes.c_wchar_p, # Return type.
ctypes.c_wchar_p # Parameter 1 ...
)
hllApiParams = (1,"p1",0),
hllApi = hllApiProto (("ReturnMyString", hllDll), hllApiParams)
var = "hello"
p1 = ctypes.c_wchar_p (var)
x = hllApi (p1)
print(x.encode(sys.stdout.encoding, errors='replace'))
time.sleep(3)
ReturnMyString function gets string parameter and returns that parameter. But when I run this code it just prints first letter of my parameter.
I found out that c_wchar_p is used for string in python. So I couldn't understand what is the problem with my code.
Any help would be appreciated..
EDIT:
exported dll function:
[ComVisible(true)]
[DllExport("ReturnMyString", CallingConvention = System.Runtime.InteropServices.CallingConvention.StdCall)]
public static string ReturnMyString(string value)
{
return value;
}
Prototype:
public static string ReturnMyString(string)
If you using Unmanaged Exports its Marshaling Example says ".Net will marshal these strings as single-byte Ansi" by default. If so, use c_char_p and pass byte strings from Python.
