VB.net and DLLs

[Guest]

Hi,

I am using a component supplied by a company. This component is in fact a DLL.

According to their SDK (documentation only for C), I have to :

* Call load library
* Call getprocaddress
...

I wonder how I can tranlate these 2 calls using VB.net.

Can you advise me ?

Regards

Private Declare Ansi Function LoadLibrary Lib "kernel32" Alias
"LoadLibraryA" _
(ByVal lpLibFileName As String) As IntPtr

Private Declare Ansi Function GetProcAddress Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hModule
As IntPtr, _
ByVal lpProcName As String) As IntPtr

GetProcAddress *must* be declared as ANSI.

hope this helps...
Imran.

Just write Declare statements for the functions in the DLL you want to
call. The runtime will call LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress for you.
