DllNotFound Exception when I use glut functions in my Dll

问题

I have a c++ dll and c# application. In C# application I call function from dll. With simple function like:

extern "C"
{
    __declspec(dllexport) void HelloFromDll()
    {
        MessageBox(NULL, _T("Hello from DLL"), _T("Hello from DLL"), NULL);
    }
}

all works fine. When i use function with glut like this:

extern "C"
{
    __declspec(dllexport) int InitGlut()
    {
        glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DEPTH | GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_RGBA);
        glutInitWindowPosition(100,100);
        glutInitWindowSize(320,320);
        glutCreateWindow("MyWindow");
        glutDisplayFunc(renderScene);
        glutMainLoop();
        return 0;
    }
}

i get DllNotFound Exception. Why? C# code:

const string pathToDll = "../../../Release/MyDLL.dll";
[DllImport(pathToDll)]
public static extern void HelloFromDll();
[DllImport(pathToDll)]
public static extern int InitGlut();

private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    HelloFromDll();
    InitGlut();
}

回答1:

Set your working directory of your application to the path of the DLL's, this should solve your problem.

回答2:

 const string pathToDll = "../../../Release/MyDLL.dll";

Odds are not great that this would be a valid path. Or that it helps Windows find any dependent DLLs, it doesn't. What's much worse is that the odds are zero after you deployed your app.

Add a post build event to your project that copies all the required native DLLs into the $(TargetDir) directory with xcopy /d /y. Windows always looks there first. And it will work both when you debug and after you deploy. And your build directory contains everything you need to deploy.

Look here.
The name of the DLL and the path need to be split as shown there...
