NetRemoteTOD USage

[Guest]

Hi,
I am tring to use the NetRemoteTOD Windows API from CSharp, I am looking for some help on the C# Signature for this API. An example of the Signature or USage in C# would be of great help.

The NetRemoteTOD function returns the time of day information from a specified server.

Here is the WIN32API

NET_API_STATUS NetRemoteTOD(
LPCWSTR UncServerName,
LPBYTE *BufferPtr
);


Regards,
PRM

PRM,

I've set up the definitions you need on the PInvoke.NET website
(http://www.pinvoke.net). You will need the following definitions:

NetRemoteTOD
NetApiBufferFree
TIME_OF_DAY_INFO

Once you have that, here is a sample bit of code to get the information:

// The pointer.
IntPtr pintBuffer = IntPtr.Zero;

// Get the time of day.
int pintError = NetRemoteTOD(@"\\sony_laptop", ref pintBuffer);

// Get the structure.
TIME_OF_DAY_INFO pobjInfo = (TIME_OF_DAY_INFO)
Marshal.PtrToStructure(pintBuffer, typeof(TIME_OF_DAY_INFO));

// Free the buffer.
NetApiBufferFree(pintBuffer);

Hope this helps.
