I have a SharePoint DLL that does some licensing things and as part of the code it uses an external C++ DLL to get the serial number of the hardisk. When I run this application on Windows Server 2003 it works fine, but on Windows Server 2008 the whole site (loaded on load) crashes and resets continually. This is not Windows Server 2008 ...
After switching to VS2010, the managed debug assistant is displaying an error about an unbalanced stack from a call to an unmanaged C++ function from a C# application. The usuals suspects don't seem to be causing the issue. Is there something else I should check? The VS2008 built C++ dll and C# application never had a problem, no weird ...
I have an existing app which P/Invokes to a DLL residing in the same directory as the app itself. Now (due to the fact that Canon produces one of the crappiest API's around) I need to support two versions of this API and determine at run-time which one I should use (old or new). Since the DLLs have the same name (the first one loads oth...
My company uses a third-party C++ DLL which is updated periodically. I've been manually creating C# DLLImport statements, but in this last update the number of functions nearly doubled. Is there any tool (preferably free) that will create C# DLLImport's from an unmanaged C++ .dll or .lib file? (The DLL exports decorated C++ functions,...
If you make a little research on the internet you'll see many DLLImport styles for this user32.dll function: HDC GetDC(HWND hWnd); The question is: what type is more appropriate for .NET x64 apps (either compiled with the Platform target as AnyCPU on a x64 machine or specifically as x64)? IntPtr for example grows to a size of 8 on a x...
I have written my own function, which in C would be declared like this, using standard Win32 calling conventions: int Thing( char * command, char * buffer, int * BufSize); I have the following amount of VB figured out, which should import the dll and call this function, wrapping it up to make it easy to call Thing("CommandHere",GetDat...
I have two WIN32 DLL projects in the solution, main.dll should call a function in mgn.dll. mgn.dll has mgn.h header file: #ifdef MGN_EXPORTS #define MGN_API __declspec(dllexport) #else #define MGN_API __declspec(dllimport) #endif extern "C" bool MGN_API AttachMGN(void); and mgn.cpp source file: #include "stdafx.h" #include "mgn.h" ...
I'm using Visual Studio 2008. I have a DLL and a test program EXE. There is a header file for the DLL that contains this: #ifdef _DEBUG #pragma comment(lib, "FooD.lib") #else #pragma comment(lib, "Foo.lib") #endif The intent is to dynamically link to FooD.dll through the FooD.lib import library, for a debug build, and to Foo...
I'm working on a .NET 3.5 console application in C# which uses a VC++ unmanaged DLL. It ran without a problem when I worked on it a few weeks ago, but I'm coming back to it today and am now getting a BadImageFormatException ("An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)). My develo...

I followed an excellent article by Rudy Velthuis about using C++ classes in DLL's. Everything was golden, except that I need access to some classes that do not have corresponding factories in the C++ DLL. How can I construct an instance of a class in the DLL? The classes in question are defined as class __declspec(dllexport) exampleC...
