PB DLLs in C# (C.NET, Visual C# Express 2005, and such)

[Kaiser]

Whoah, it's been so long since I stepped here

Anyways, I've been programming in C# now, but because I use PureBASIC for some of my functions that I can't translate to C# still, I figured someone could be interested in running their PB DLLs in C#, so here it goes:

MyDLL.pb:

Code: Select all

ProcedureDLL show_message()
  ProcedureReturn Ansi2Uni("This is a test")
EndProcedure

Program.cs (Create a Console Application)

Code: Select all

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Threading;
using System.Text;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        [STAThread]
        [DllImport("MyDLL.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
            public static extern string show_message();

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(show_message());
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

There, nice string return functions. You can do the same for returning ints, simply change ProcedureReturn Ansi2Uni("This is a test") by, for example, ProcedureReturn 123456

Yay
