I have got the communication to work in a C++ project however i was wondering if it is at all possible to get it to work in my c# project (guessing without the use of the h file). I have tried many things using DLLImport and even adding it through references, also
[DllImport("LC4_Comm_Lib.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
I am not sure if i am wasting my time, so thought i would double check
you can use C++ DLL in C# code without using your.h file. First of all you have to do DLL import. Here i am creating a class MFCdllConnector to do the operation.
class MFCdllConnector { [DllImport( "LC4_Comm_Lib.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl ) ] public static extern <your exporting function> //please find below example public static extern int MyExampleExportFunction([MarshalAsAttribute(UnmanagedType.LPStr)]string para1, [MarshalAsAttribute(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] string para2,[MarshalAsAttribute(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] ref StringBuilder output); } //You can call this function like below int return = MFCdllConnector.MyExampleExportFunction(para1, para2, ref OUTPUT);
Hope this will help
