The large hunk of C# code below is intended to print the imports of a native DLL. I copied it from from this link and modified it very slightly, just to use LoadLibraryEx as Mike Woodring does here.
I find that when I call the Foo.Test method with the original example's target, MSCOREE.DLL, it prints all the imports fine. But when I use other dlls like GDI32.DLL or WSOCK32.DLL the imports do not get printed. What's missing from this code that would let it print all the imports as, for example, DUMPBIN.EXE does?
(Is there a hint I'm not grokking in the original comment that says, "using mscoree.dll as an example as it doesnt export any thing"?)
Here's the extract that just shows how it's being invoked:
public static void Test()
{
// WORKS:
var path = @"c:\windows\system32\mscoree.dll";
// NO ERRORS, BUT NO IMPORTS PRINTED EITHER:
//var path = @"c:\windows\system32\gdi32.dll";
//var path = @"c:\windows\system32\wsock32.dll";
var hLib = LoadLibraryEx(path, 0,
DONT_RESOLVE_DLL_REFERENCES | LOAD_IGNORE_CODE_AUTHZ_LEVEL);
TestImports(hLib, true);
}
And here is the whole code example:
