I am trying to import a function from a c dll into C#. The c function looks like this
unsigned short write_buffer( unsigned short device_number, unsigned short word_count, unsigned long buffer_link, unsigned short* buffer)
my attempt at a C# import looks like this
[DllImport("sslib32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Ansi, SetLastError = true)]
private static extern ushort write_buffer(ushort deviceNumber, ushort wordCount, UInt32 bufferLink, IntPtr buffer)
In C# i have a Dictionary of messages that i would like to pass to this function. The Dictionary looks like this:
Dictionary<string, List<ushort>> msgs
I am a bit confused how to make a make a proper call to pass msgs as the buffer. deviceNumber is 2, wordCount is 32, and buffLink is 0. So i know the call should look something like this
write_buffer(2,32,0, msgs[key]);
Obviously i am getting an invalid argument for the IntPtr. What is the proper way to make this call?
