P/Invoke parameter marshalling

[Guest]

Hello,

I am using a video encoder from an existing DLL (MSFCEnc.dll, from Microsoft
Portrait). I manage to call the DLL functions, but one of them, the
setParams(), always returns false... I would like to check with you that I
used the correct correspondance between C++ parameters and C# ones.

C++:

//Set parameters before start compressing
MSFCENC_API HRESULT MSFCEnc_SetParams(
DWORD dwBandwidth, // [in] bps
int nFrameRate, // [in] default 15 fps
int nKeyFrameInterval, // [in] default 5 second
int nVersion, // [in] must be 2
int nOutputBitCount, // [in] 16 or 24, represent RGB565 and RGB24 format
respectively
BOOL bQualityImprove);

C#:

[DllImport("MSFCEnc.dll", EntryPoint="?MSFCEnc_SetParams@@YAJKHHHHH@Z")]
public static extern UInt32 SetParams(
UInt32 dwBandwidth,
Int32 nFrameRate,
Int32 nKeyFrameInterval,
Int32 nVersion,
Int32 nOutputBitCount,
Boolean bQualityImprove );

Call to the method:

UInt32 bandwidth = 56000;
Int32 frameRate = 15;
Int32 keyFrameInterval = 5;
Int32 version = 2;
Int32 outputBitCount = 24;
Boolean autoQualityImprove = true;

UInt32 paramOk = Encoder.SetParams(
bandwidth,
frameRate,
keyFrameInterval,
version,
outputBitCount,
autoQualityImprove);

paramOk always equals S_FALSE (1). I don't know if it is because of wrong
marshalling or because of badly chosen parameters values...

Thanks for the help,

The declaration looks fine. Add SetLastError=true to it and check
GetLastWin32Error

Also trying to call it with the same parameters from a C++ test harness
would be an easy way to answer the question of PInvoke definition validity

It's fine, the problem came from an error in the DLLImport entry point.
