C # Call C ++ Dll

Now, we will summarize the question "type comparison of function parameters when C # Calls the non-hosted C ++ code of DLL.

Search with these keywords. There are a lot of such content on the Internet, such as the following links.

 

C # comparison with C ++ data types (the content of the last three articles is the same)

However, the above ing may sometimes cause problems.

For example, all the above posts map lptstr to string,

However, when processing the getwindowtext function, this lptstr is used to return the result.

Therefore, using string here does not work, but stringbuffer is required.

 

Note: The prototype of getwindowtext

CPP Code  

1. Int getwindowtext (
2. Hwnd,
3. Lptstr lpstring,
4. Int nmaxcount
5. );

 

 

If the problem is solved by simply checking the links above, I will not write this blog.

My main purpose is to introduce the other two methods.

 

Method 1:

View the MSDN of the Web version.

Let's take a look at the following two connections. In the Community Content section, we provide the prototype of C # and VB calls.

Of course, not all functions correspond to the full Community Content section.

But some give some constant values, some give some struct definitions, in short, this part of content still has reference value.

Note: MSDN installed on the local machine does not contain Community Content.

 

GetWindowText

Http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633520%28VS.85%29.aspx

 

GetForegroundWindow

Http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633505%28VS.85%29.aspx

 

 

Method 2:

P/invoke InterOP Assistant

 

Enter the Type, Constant, and Procedure you want, and the corresponding code (C #, or VB) is automatically generated ).

 

For example.

If I want SHGetFileInfo to call this function, the type SHFileInfo is used.

The following result is displayed when I query the SHFileInfo type in P/Invoke Interop Assistant:

C # code  

1. [System. runtime. interopservices. structlayoutattribute (system. runtime. interopservices. layoutkind. Sequential, charset = system. runtime. interopservices. charset. Unicode)]
2. Public struct shfileinfow {
4. /// Hicon-> hicon __*
5. Public System. intptr hicon;
7. /// Int
8. Public int iicon;
10. /// DWORD-> unsigned int
11. Public uint dwattributes;
13. /// Wchar [260]
14. [System. runtime. interopservices. financialasattribute (system. runtime. interopservices. unmanagedtype. byvaltstr, sizeconst = 260)]
15. Public String szdisplayname;
17. /// Wchar [80]
18. [System. Runtime. InteropServices. financialasattribute (System. Runtime. InteropServices. UnmanagedType. ByValTStr, SizeConst = 80)]
19. Public string szTypeName;
20. }

 

 

Here is another example.

For the previously mentioned GetWindowText function, if it is queried in Procedure of P/Invoke Interop Assistant.

The following code is also obtained:

 

C # code  

1. [System. Runtime. InteropServices. DllImportAttribute ("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "GetWindowText")]
2. Public static extern int GetWindowText (IntPtr hWnd, StringBuilder lpString, int nMaxCount );

 

 

The code above has been sorted out by me, And the automatically generated items have poor readability and redundancy.

However, this tool is very useful.

 

To sum up

With this tool, the C # And C ++ data types mentioned in the beginning of this article are also compared.

Analysis, search, no more Google.

It is very convenient to call the unmanaged dll code in C.

 

For convenience, I also reproduced the "C # And C ++ data type table" as follows:

 

C ++ C #
============================================
WORD ushort
DWORD uint
UCHAR int/byte can be replaced by int in most cases. If strict alignment is required, bytebyte should be used.
UCHAR * string/IntPtr
Unsigned char * [financialas (UnmanagedType. LPArray)] byte []/? (Intptr)
Char * string
LPCTSTR string
LPTSTR [financialas (UnmanagedType. LPTStr)] string
Long int
Ulong uint
Handle IntPtr
HWND IntPtr
Void * IntPtr
Int
Int * ref int
* Int IntPtr
Unsigned int uint
COLORREF uint
