I've an issue regarding p/invoke from managed to unmanaged code. See my original post at the MSDN forum (as brief summary is seen later in this post). Before I go on, I just want to explain a couple of things: I have a wrapper assembly in net 3.5 that does the actual interop to the unmanaged code. Then I have my console "host app" which uses the wrapper assembly. The solution I came up (I refer to my MSDN post) works when the host app is using .net 4, but it doesn't work when changing the host app to use .net 3.5. When changing, I get a AccessViolationException.
Do anyone have a clue to why I get an AccessViolationException? Most importantly, how do I get it working with .net 3.5?
Brief summary on the MSDN post I refered to. I have this messy p/Invoke I need to solve. The C declaration looks like this:
long TBAPI TbeAndring (short,
short,
PTB_PU,
PTB_ANDRING_INFO,
PTB_PARAMS,
[CODE]...
Where PTB means that each argument is a struct pointer to an array of arbitrary length. The structs mostly contains strings, doubles, char and short. Anyway, I ended up with this DllImport statement:
<DllImport(NativeLibraryName, CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.StdCall, CharSet:=CharSet.Ansi, SetLastError:=True)>
Public Shared Function TbeAndring(ByVal sAntMoment As Short, _
ByVal sAntPU As Short, _
[CODE]...
As you see some of the arguments are changed by the unmanaged code as well.
I'm really struggling with the following pinvoke call. I've tried numerous different ways of doing this but still no joy. The call runs through, but I get a 'Bad parameter' message back with suggests there is something wrong with the struct, since I've ran through a c++ example of this code and the parameters are all correct.
Looking at Microsoft's page on Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection, I see some C code. What if you want to call this function and it's revert from VB.net? So far I have done this:
<Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("KERNEL32.DLL", EntryPoint:="Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection")> _ Public Shared Function DisableWow64Redirection() As Boolean End Function
And I do likewise for the Revert brother function.This seems to work, as the shell command I call after actually finds its exe in system32, but I am not sure about the Revert, does it need a parameter? This Revert page seems to want me to take the output from disable and plug it into the revert call. Does that sound right? How do I change my DLLimport to take in a boolean and actually use it in the Kernal32.DLL function?
I have just upgraded(!) to VS2010, and opened my project from VS2008, which worked, and when i try to run i get a Pinvoke error due to stack imbalance. I am completely lost, on this error. What do i need to do to solve it. The error occurs at the If GetAsyncKeyState(8) Then part of the code below. It is detecting for a backspace being pressed. Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal vKey As Long) As Integer
I want to delete, copy, move, and rename files using the actual Windows confirmation dialogs.I am using SHFileOperation. My problem is, that, when I want to move a folder with this path:

I want to enable the 'ReaderMode' for paning/scrolling my control in .Net. Closest thing I found was this Win API function .url....However, I'm not sure how to call this one, in the documentation it says, This function is not declared in any public header. To use it, you must access it as ordinal 383 from Comctl32.dll.I've never called a function that didn't have a name before, can anyone describe how to do this in VB.Net?
I'm using PInvoke to access some routines from a third party library, however i'm getting SEHExceptions when trying to use callbacks defined for one particular method. The callbacks are used to provide feedback from other unmanaged methods within the third party library, passing a string back to the calling application containing a status message.
I have a problem listing directory information in a process I wrote to call directory listing of the $MFT routine.The gang has convinced me that the problem is that I'm not calling the routine in Kernel Mode.How does one call a routine in Kernel Mode besides using pinvoke which is slow...."MODERN PROGRAMMING is deficient in elementary ways BECAUSE of problems INTRODUCED by MODERN PROGRAMMING."
