How do I write value of (unmanaged) OutputData char* into a string
(managed) with c#.
I am getting error:
Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an
indication that other memory is corrupt.

Do I need to enabling marchalling?
 
Paul,

At least you need some code, did you write that?

And then show it here.

sorry wrong code, here is correct code:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
[DllImport("C:\\paul.dll",EntryPoint ="function")]

static extern int function(String input1data, ref String
OutputData, System.UInt32 iLenData, String input2data,System.UInt32
iLen);

public Form1()
{
System.String input1data= "xxxyydfdfd@+!";
System.String input2data= "dfdsfs45¬";
System.String output ="";
uint Length = 25;
uint SeedLength = 32;
int ret;
ret = function
(input1data,output ,Length,input2data,SeedLength);
InitializeComponent();

}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{


}
}
 
public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        [DllImport("C:\\paul.dll",EntryPoint ="function")]

        static extern int function(String input1data, ref String
OutputData, System.UInt32 iLenData, String input2data,System.UInt32
iLen);

        public Form1()
        {
            System.String input1data= "xxxyydfdfd@+!";
            System.String input2data= "dfdsfs45¬";
            System.String output ="";
            uint Length = 25;
            uint SeedLength = 32;
            int ret;
            ret = function
(input1data,output ,Length,input2data,SeedLength);
            InitializeComponent();

        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }
    }

Good; now, can you show the source of "function" as well? I have
strong suspicions, particularly with your mention of "char*" in C++
and the sight of "ref String" in method signature, but seeing the code
on the other side would make everything clear.
