windows v.s. C# data types

[Guest]

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone knows a site that list all the corresponding
windows data types in C#. I often confuse what data type to use when
importing a function from Win32 DLL.

Windows data types =

Please advice, thanks.

Here's a small list of data types in the .NET framework corresponding to
various Win32 data types - you should be able to convert those to C# types
(eg. System.Integer is int, etc)

Apart from that, what data type to use for a particular Win32 API call
largely depends on the method being called. Here's a link with information
on marshalling data from managed code to native code:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...tml/cpconmarshalingdatawithplatforminvoke.asp

Here's a list of resources on P/Invoke in general:

hope that helps..
