i am using the Xenroll.DLL in C# as COM bacause of that i do not have
access to all methods i need.
I am searching for a posibility to use teh Xenroll as an API with
[DLLImport !!!
is there any Programm that can convert("invoke") the Xenroll.h ?

Saleh,

What do you mean use it as COM? If you are importing the components
through COM interop, then you don't have to use the P/Invoke layer (most
likely).

However if you have the header file, then you are not using COM interop.

I think what you are asking is if there are automated tools which will
convert header files to DllImport statements. Unfortunately, there is not
(not that I know of, the syntax of C++ is complex enough to say the least,
which makes it very difficult).

If you post the functions you want converted, then I am sure people in
the group will help.

Hope this helps.

The Xenroll.DLL has an Interface (com) that means it can be regestred
and used.
With Xenroll.DLL can be a Certificate Request created and a *Certificate
Renewal Request (the Renewal Request is not implemented as Interface)
and that is the reason to prevoke the DLL in C#

the Xenroll is a part of the Microsoft Crypto API and here is the link
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dncapi/html/certenrollment.asp

for the example that i need it in C# its in this section:

Why not use CAPICOM

instead of a low level API designed for C++ clients?
