Going native -- please help a newbie!!

[almurph]

Hi,

I want to use the C# "native" keyword to some C code as I want to
emulate the output from a fairly simple maths calculation.
I have never used this before and am unsure how to do it. Can anyone
provide me with simple wortked example or a website with equivalent
please? Do i have to install a C emulator environment (I'm on a window
box) or some sort of program to emaulte the C compiler or something?

If I'm asking the wrong questions its because I'm under some time
pressure and would appreciate any assistance/help/advice/overview that
you may be able to provide.

Thanks,
Al.

The keyword you want is 'extern', not 'native' (you're thinking of Java).
See the post right next to your post titled 'DllImport' for an example.

FTY there is no "native" keyword in C#


I think you need to better explain what you are tryig to do and what
your problem is

There is no "native" in C#, that's a Java keyword. The closest analog
C# has to that is "extern" keyword and "DllImport" attribute. Assuming
that it's what you mean, here's some more info on that:
