  • PInvoke or using /clr:pure to compile

    - by Yin Zhu
    I have a set of numerical libraries in C++ and I want to call them interactively in a interpretive language like F# or IronPython. So I have two choices now: Compile the library in native DLL and use PInvoke to call functions in it. Compile the C++ library to .Net dll using visual c++ (/clr:pure compile option). The advantage of 1 is that it is very fast, however there are more work in it, e.g. I cannot PInvoke double pointer (e.g. float **), I must write another wrapper in the C++ library to make the interface friendly to .Net. The advantage of 2 is that I don't need to do know Mashaling strings, arrays, etc. However, the .net dll is slower compared to the native one. What others factors should be considered when choosing between the two?

    - by jambodev
    complete newbe in PInvoke. I have a function in C with this signature: int addPos(int init_array_size, int *cnt, int *array_size, PosT ***posArray, PosT ***hPtr, char *id, char *record_id, int num, char *code, char *type, char *name, char *method, char *cont1, char *cont2, char *cont_type, char *date1, char *date_day, char *date2, char *dsp, char *curr, char *contra_acc, char *np, char *ten, char *dsp2, char *covered, char *cont_subtype, char *Xcode, double strike, int version, double t_price, double long, double short, double scale, double exrcised_price, char *infoMsg); and here is how PosT looks like: typedef union pu { struct dpos d; struct epo e; struct bpos b; struct spos c; } PosT ; my questions are: 1- do I need to define a class in CSharp representing PosT? 2- how do I pass PosT ***posArray parameter across frm CSharp to C? 3- How do I specify marshaling for it all?

  • Using pinvoke in c# to call sprintf and friends on 64-bit

    - by bde
    I am having an interesting problem with using pinvoke in C# to call _snwprintf. It works for integer types, but not for floating point numbers. This is on 64-bit Windows, it works fine on 32-bit. My code is below, please keep in mind that this is a contrived example to show the behavior I am seeing. class Program { [DllImport("msvcrt.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)] private static extern int _snwprintf([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] StringBuilder str, uint length, String format, int p); [DllImport("msvcrt.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)] private static extern int _snwprintf([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] StringBuilder str, uint length, String format, double p); static void Main(string[] args) { Double d = 1.0f; Int32 i = 1; Object o = (object)d; StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder(); _snwprintf(str, 32, "%10.1f", (Double)o); Console.WriteLine(str.ToString()); o = (object)i; _snwprintf(str, 32, "%10d", (Int32)o); Console.WriteLine(str.ToString()); Console.ReadKey(); } } The output of this program is 0.0 1 It should print 1.0 on the first line and not 0.0, and so far I am stumped.

  • PInvoke Unbalances the stack

    - by Giawa
    Good afternoon, I have been working on a dll that can use CORBA to communicate to an application that is network aware. The code works fine if I run it as a C++ console application. However, I have gotten stuck on exporting the methods as a dll. The methods seems to export fine, and if I call a method with no parameters then it works as expected. I'm hung up on passing a C# string to a C++ method. My C++ method header looks like this: bool __declspec(dllexport) SpiceStart(char* installPath) My C# DLL import code is as follows: [DllImportAttribute("SchemSipc.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Ansi)] private static extern bool SpiceStart(string installPath); I call the method like so: bool success = SpiceStart(@"c:\sedatools"); The call to SpiceStart throws the exception "PInvokeStackImbalance", which "is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature." Does anyone have any suggestions? If I remove the char* and string from the parameters, then the method runs just fine. However, I'd like to be able to pass the installation path of the application to the dll from C#. Thanks in advance, Giawa

  • Using PInvoke vs .NET provided functions

    - by Jonathan Shepherd
    From version to version of .NET the more function that's equal to P/Invoke is added to .NET Now there are 2 questions in my mine. 1) Which one is prefer other the other in term of speed, normally I use .Net function but in tight loop I don't really know which one is going to be faster. 2) Is there any website that provide the list of counter-parts?

  • Title: Using Window Handle to disable Mouse clicks and Keyboard Inputs using Pinvoke c#

    - by srk
    I need to disable the Mouse Clicks, Mouse movement and Keyboard Inputs for a specific windows for a Kiosk application. Is it Feasible in C# ? I have removed the menu bar and title bar of a specific window, will that be a starting point to achieve the above requirement ? The code for removing the menu bar and title bar using window handle : #region Constants //Finds a window by class name [DllImport("USER32.DLL")] public static extern IntPtr FindWindow(string lpClassName, string lpWindowName); //Sets a window to be a child window of another window [DllImport("USER32.DLL")] public static extern IntPtr SetParent(IntPtr hWndChild, IntPtr hWndNewParent); //Sets window attributes [DllImport("USER32.DLL")] public static extern int SetWindowLong(IntPtr hWnd, int nIndex, int dwNewLong); //Gets window attributes [DllImport("USER32.DLL")] public static extern int GetWindowLong(IntPtr hWnd, int nIndex); [DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "FindWindow", SetLastError = true)] static extern IntPtr FindWindowByCaption(IntPtr ZeroOnly, string lpWindowName); [DllImport("user32.dll")] static extern IntPtr GetMenu(IntPtr hWnd); [DllImport("user32.dll")] static extern int GetMenuItemCount(IntPtr hMenu); [DllImport("user32.dll")] static extern bool DrawMenuBar(IntPtr hWnd); [DllImport("user32.dll")] static extern bool RemoveMenu(IntPtr hMenu, uint uPosition, uint uFlags); //assorted constants needed public static uint MF_BYPOSITION = 0x400; public static uint MF_REMOVE = 0x1000; public static int GWL_STYLE = -16; public static int WS_CHILD = 0x40000000; //child window public static int WS_BORDER = 0x00800000; //window with border public static int WS_DLGFRAME = 0x00400000; //window with double border but no title public static int WS_CAPTION = WS_BORDER | WS_DLGFRAME; //window with a title bar public static int WS_SYSMENU = 0x00080000; //window menu #endregion public static void WindowsReStyle() { Process[] Procs = Process.GetProcesses(); foreach (Process proc in Procs) { if (proc.ProcessName.StartsWith("notepad")) { IntPtr pFoundWindow = proc.MainWindowHandle; int style = GetWindowLong(pFoundWindow, GWL_STYLE); //get menu IntPtr HMENU = GetMenu(proc.MainWindowHandle); //get item count int count = GetMenuItemCount(HMENU); //loop & remove for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) RemoveMenu(HMENU, 0, (MF_BYPOSITION | MF_REMOVE)); //force a redraw DrawMenuBar(proc.MainWindowHandle); SetWindowLong(pFoundWindow, GWL_STYLE, (style & ~WS_SYSMENU)); SetWindowLong(pFoundWindow, GWL_STYLE, (style & ~WS_CAPTION)); } } }

  • Reverse PInvoke and create a full unmanaged C# program

    - by Fire-Dragon-DoL
    I know this is a strange question but the idea is simple: I prefer C# syntax rather than C++: -Setters and getters directly inside a property -interfaces -foreach statement -possibility to declare an implicit cast operator other small things... What I really don't know is if is possible to import a c++ dll (expecially std libraries) in C# if I don't use any namespace (even System) The idea is just to write a program using everything that you will normally use in C++ (nothing from CLR so), even printf for example Thanks for any answer

  • How do I solve the .NET CF exception "Can't find PInvoke DLL"?

    - by Ignas Limanauskas
    This is to all the C# gurus. I have been banging my head on this for some time already, tried all kinds of advice on the net with no avail. The action is happening in Windows Mobile 5.0. I have a DLL named MyDll.dll. In the MyDll.h I have: extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int MyDllFunction(int one, int two); The definition of MyDllFunction in MyDll.cpp is: int MyDllFunction(int one, int two) { return one + two; } The C# class contains the following declaration: [DllImport("MyDll.dll")] extern public static int MyDllFunction(int one, int two); In the same class I am calling MyDllFunction the following way: int res = MyDllFunction(10, 10); And this is where the bloody thing keeps giving me "Can't find PInvoke DLL 'MyDll.dll'". I have verified that I can actually do the PInvoke on system calls, such as "GetAsyncKeyState(1)", declared as: [DllImport("coredll.dll")] protected static extern short GetAsyncKeyState(int vKey); The MyDll.dll is in the same folder as the executable, and I have also tried putting it into the /Windows folder with no changes nor success. Any advice or solutions are greatly appreciated.

  • What am I doing wrong with this use of StructLayout( LayoutKind.Explicit ) when calling a PInvoke st

    - by csharptest.net
    The following is a complete program. It works fine as long as you don't uncomment the '#define BROKEN' at the top. The break is due to a PInvoke failing to marshal a union correctly. The INPUT_RECORD structure in question has a number of substructures that might be used depending on the value in EventType. What I don't understand is that when I define only the single child structure of KEY_EVENT_RECORD it works with the explicit declaration at offset 4. But when I add the other structures at the same offset the structure's content get's totally hosed. //UNCOMMENT THIS LINE TO BREAK IT: //#define BROKEN using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; class ConIOBroken { static void Main() { int nRead = 0; IntPtr handle = GetStdHandle(-10 /*STD_INPUT_HANDLE*/); Console.Write("Press the letter: 'a': "); INPUT_RECORD record = new INPUT_RECORD(); do { ReadConsoleInputW(handle, ref record, 1, ref nRead); } while (record.EventType != 0x0001/*KEY_EVENT*/); Assert.AreEqual((short)0x0001, record.EventType); Assert.AreEqual(true, record.KeyEvent.bKeyDown); Assert.AreEqual(0x00000000, record.KeyEvent.dwControlKeyState & ~0x00000020);//strip num-lock and test Assert.AreEqual('a', record.KeyEvent.UnicodeChar); Assert.AreEqual((short)0x0001, record.KeyEvent.wRepeatCount); Assert.AreEqual((short)0x0041, record.KeyEvent.wVirtualKeyCode); Assert.AreEqual((short)0x001e, record.KeyEvent.wVirtualScanCode); } static class Assert { public static void AreEqual(object x, object y) { if (!x.Equals(y)) throw new ApplicationException(); } } [DllImport("Kernel32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, SetLastError = true)] public static extern IntPtr GetStdHandle(int nStdHandle); [DllImport("Kernel32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, SetLastError = true)] public static extern bool ReadConsoleInputW(IntPtr hConsoleInput, ref INPUT_RECORD lpBuffer, int nLength, ref int lpNumberOfEventsRead); [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit)] public struct INPUT_RECORD { [FieldOffset(0)] public short EventType; //union { [FieldOffset(4)] public KEY_EVENT_RECORD KeyEvent; #if BROKEN [FieldOffset(4)] public MOUSE_EVENT_RECORD MouseEvent; [FieldOffset(4)] public WINDOW_BUFFER_SIZE_RECORD WindowBufferSizeEvent; [FieldOffset(4)] public MENU_EVENT_RECORD MenuEvent; [FieldOffset(4)] public FOCUS_EVENT_RECORD FocusEvent; //} #endif } [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct KEY_EVENT_RECORD { public bool bKeyDown; public short wRepeatCount; public short wVirtualKeyCode; public short wVirtualScanCode; public char UnicodeChar; public int dwControlKeyState; } [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct MOUSE_EVENT_RECORD { public COORD dwMousePosition; public int dwButtonState; public int dwControlKeyState; public int dwEventFlags; }; [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct WINDOW_BUFFER_SIZE_RECORD { public COORD dwSize; } [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct MENU_EVENT_RECORD { public int dwCommandId; } [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct FOCUS_EVENT_RECORD { public bool bSetFocus; } [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct COORD { public short X; public short Y; } } UPDATE: For those worried about the struct declarations themselves: bool is treated as a 32-bit value the reason for offset(4) on the data is to allow for the 32-bit structure alignment which prevents the union from beginning at offset 2. Again, my problem isn't making PInvoke work at all, it's trying to figure out why these additional structures (supposedly at the same offset) are fowling up the data by simply adding them.

  • Advice on whether to use native C++ DLL or not: PINVOKE & Marshaling ?

    - by Bob
    What's the best way to do this....? I have some Native C++ code that uses a lot of Win32 calls together with byte buffers (allocated using HeapAlloc). I'd like to extend the code and make a C# GUI...and maybe later use a basic Win32 GUI (for use where there is no .Net and limited MFC support). (A) I could just re-write the code in C# and use multiple PINVOKEs....but even with the PINVOKES in a separate class, the code looks messy with all the marshaling. I'm also re-writing a lot of code. (B) I could create a native C++ DLL and use PINVOKE to marshal in the native data structures. I'm assuming I can include the native C++ DLL/LIB in a project using C#? (C) Create a mixed mode DLL (Native C++ class plus managed ref class). I'm assuming that this would make it easier to use the managed ref class in C#......but is this the case? Will the managed class handle all the marshaling? Can I use this mixed mode DLL on a platform with no .Net (i.e. still access the native C++ unmanaged component) or do I limit myself to .Net only platforms. One thing that bothers me about each of these options is all the marshalling. Is it better to create a managed data structure (array, string etc.) and pass that to the native C++ class, or, the other way around? Any ideas on what would be considered best practice...?

  • A call to PInvoke function '[...]' has unbalanced the stack

    - by Sanctus2099
    Hey I'm getting this weird error on some stuff I've been using for quite a while. It may be a new thing in Visual Studio 2010 but I'm not sure. I'm trying to call a unamanged function written in C++ from C#. From what I've read on the internet and the error message itself it's got something to do with the fact that the signature in my C# file is not the same as the one from C++ but I really can't see it. First of all this is my unamanged function below: TEngine GCreateEngine(int width,int height,int depth,int deviceType); And here is my function in C#: [DllImport("Engine.dll", EntryPoint = "GCreateEngine", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)] public static extern IntPtr CreateEngine(int width,int height,int depth,int device); When I debug into C++ I see all arguments just fine so thus I can only think it's got something to do with transforming from TEngine (which is a pointer to a class named CEngine) to IntPtr. I've used this before in VS2008 with no problem. I hope my problem is clear enough for you guys to understand.
