Functions and parameters in DLL

[Guest]

Hi

Im writing my app in VB.NET and .NET CF. A client handheld with WinCE.NET also ships a DLL that allows me to get the WLAN signal strength from my Managed application. As its a tentative version they havent provided the documentation for the DLL.

How can I find out what procedures (with parameters) are located in the DLL? Im trying to create a prototype app for approval by management
Ive been told that in eVC++ 4.0 I can call "DWORD GetSignalQuality() - parameters none".

So in my managed code application do I call

<DllImport("clientDLL.dll")>
Public Shared Sub GetSignalQuality As Intege
End Su

All help is appreciated.

You can use dumpbin utility.

I have done a _very_ simple GUI-wrapper if you are interested

Hi

Sorry, Some utilities are ( .ocx ) - how do I use them in my app? can I examine them

Thank
Trevor.

An OCX implied it's a COM object, which cannot be used in the CF.

Thanks Chris

Will .NET CF 2.0 allow for ocx to be used?

Thanks.

 

[Chris Tacke, eMVP]

Yes. CF 2.0 will have COM interop, but that's a long time to wait if you
need it now. CFCOM from Odyssey would do the job now if it's required.

Damn!!!

Guess I'l have to wait until Summer 2005 (release date .NET CF 2.0) before I get my hands on COM

Thanks a great deal guys.

If the handheld is Windows CE.NET 4.2 or something and the RF Ehernet can be
configured with Windows Zero Configuration, you can use the RFUtils pieces
of the upcoming OpenNETCF SDF to get signal strength, etc. As mentioned in
other threads, that's a few days away (or you can see if you can find the
earlier version that I've posted here before).
