How do I use structures declared in C header files in my
C# project?

It should be an easy problem to solve but I just cannot
find any information help on the subject. I have several
pages of declarations (mostly of different structs) in
those header C files and I do not want to rewrite them. Is
it possible to add them as unmanaged code in my C# project?

Basically I am trying to incoporate and use the different
structures and methods I have already written in C.

If you are willing to spend $40-60 take a look here:

Paul Yao's team has written a wizard that is supposed to be good exactly for
what you are trying to do - converting structs. Don't exepct any magic
though. If your structs contain embedded arrays or structure pointers - you
will have to do it by hand
