| 3. How does the P/Invoke Wizard work? |
|
P/Invoke works by reading C/C++ include (.H) files. The P/Invoke processing engine takes the various declarations and produces a compatible .NET version in your choice of C# or Visual Basic .NET.
P/Invoke understands the following kinds of C/C++ declarations:
- #define statements for integer and string constants
- enum statements that define enumerated constant values
- typedef struct declarations that define the layout of structures
- typedef declarations for custom data types
- function prototypes
The P/Invoke Wizard converts #define constants into the equivalent C# or VB.NET declarations. It converts C/C++ data structure definitions and converts them into the equivalent .NET data structures. It also reads C/C++ function prototypes and generates the equivalent function.
