terminal services virtual channel client part in c#

[me]

I need to write the client part of a virtual channel for terminal
services in c#. I have already done the server part and it works just
fine in c#. My problem is exporting the function is requires me to
export on the dll, I have no idea how to do that from c#.

Thanks,

Rob,

I don't think this is of any help, the DLL has to "export" function and must
be loadable using LoadLibrary, something which isn't possible using C#.

C# can't be used here, C++ only (all or not in a mixed managed/native DLL)
can create exports and the necessary entry points to load the DLL.

Thanks for all the help, turns out that using the ms rdp ocx I don't
need to write that DLL in order to send data from the server to the
clinet, I am now strugling sending the data from the client to the server.

Take a look at these articles, they should help you get started with
exporting a VirtualChannelEntry function from your C# assembly:

http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Code/2003/Aug/ExportManagedCodeasUnmanaged.asp

http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/emilio_managed_unmanaged.asp

For specific advice on how to get this working you will probably get
a better answer over in:

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp

Thanks.

The DLL doesn't need to export the function, since you pass the function
pointer to VirtualChannelInit. All you need is a way to get a function
pointer in C#.

The article I pointed to explained how to do exactly that.

I wont suggest this, this is a hack that:
- isn't guaranteed to work in later versions of the CLR,
- turns into a maintenance mightmare.

Rob,

OP doesn't need to implement callback functions in managed code and pass the
pointer to unmanaged DLL code, he needs to implement a Virtual Channel
Client DLL in C# and this one has to:
1. Be dynamically loadable (LoadLibrary) and,
2. export the VirtualChannelEntry entrypoint.
Both of these are not possible in C#

Willy.

Forgot to mention that this isn't a solution as the DLL must be loadable by
Terminal Services as a regular native DLL which isn't possible using managed
assembly. Pure managed assemblies don't export/implement DllMain so can't be
loaded/mapped (using LoadLibrary(ex)) .
