Configuring the projects

Since v1.6 provides new embeddable manager, you can configure your projects in a few seconds by the following steps below.

1. Get DllExport.bat
2. Use command -action Configure
3. Select some available projects for install operations and configure this as you need.
4. (optional) Define storage for settings.
5. Click [Apply].

Now you're ready to provide exported-functions for unmanaged environments from .NET projects.

To start export

• Managed & Unmanaged PInvoke. C++ ❤ C#.
• 🔀 Complex types (like structures) and Strings between unmanaged and managed env.

For creating your first function: Just define DllExport attribute for your favorite static methods.

For example:

[DllExport]
public static void hello() { }

[DllExport]
public static int hello(IntPtr ptr)
{
    return 0;
}

You can also define specific calling convention and custom name:

[DllExport("Init", CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
// __cdecl is the default calling convention for our library as and for C and C++ programs
[DllExport(CallingConvention.StdCall)]
[DllExport("MyFunc")]

What types ?

Do not use complex types for arguments & for return value.

Only primitive types.

You should use pointer to allocated data for complex types if you need.

For example, IntPtr instead of String.
