Tips for using a C library from C#

Question

I\'ve got a library in C which I\'d like to use from C#.

From what I\'ve gleaned off the internet, one idea is to wrap it in a C++ dll, and DllImport that.

Answer 1

This is how I typically interact with C DLLs from C#:

  public static unsafe class WrapCDll {
    private const string DllName = "c_functions.dll";

    [DllImport(DllName, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
    public static extern void do_stuff_in_c(byte* arg);
  }

No need to wrap in C++ and you get the needed calling convention.
