DllImport Help

[MDB]

Hello All, I am tring to call a function within a third party DLL and keep
getting the following error:

MissingMethodException

According to the dumpbin results, there is a function calle IBT_on however,
I can't seem to access it.
ordinal hint rva name
1 0 000025SC ?IBT_on@@YAIXZ

Here is what my code looks like that is importing the DLL:

[DllImport("IBT.dll")]
private static extern Int32 IBT_on();

Dll name is IBT.dll

Also, the dll is located in my windows directory and my program directory.

Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Are you calling it on an event?

 

[MDB]

Yes,

Here is what that looks like:

private void button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
try
{
IBT_on();
}
catch (Exception xxx)
{
MessageBox.Show(xxx.Message.ToString());
}
}

Are you calling it on an event?

Since the function name is mangled, you'll need to specify the ordinal or
name explicitly using the EntryPoint member of the DllImport attribute e.g.
[DllImport("IBT.dll", EntryPoint="#1")]
private static extern Int32 IBT_on();

or

[DllImport("IBT.dll", EntryPoint="?IBT_on@@YAIXZ")]
private static extern Int32 IBT_on();

That did it. Thank you for your help!

The other option is to actually use the name dumpbin gave you (including the
@@YAIXZ).

I think the compiler would not agree to an identifier that starts with "?"
