Question

Is it possible to declare different charset options for seperate params?

heres what i mean:

[dllimport("my.dll", charset = charset.Ansi)]
void myfunc(string CharPtrInCPP, StringBuilder WCharPtrInCPP);

the problem is the c++ function takes a char* for the filename and a wchar* for the data recieved back…

in c++:

void myfuncImpl(char *filename, WCHAR *buffer, int len); 
//another method, myfunc, wraps this

As already pointed out, you should be able to specify MarshalAs for each parameter. Another way would be to specify a default character set type and then specify the marshalling for the odd one out. For example,

  [DllImport("my.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Unicode)]
  void myfunc( [MarshalAs( UnmanagedType.LPStr )] String filename, 
               StringBuilder buffer, int len );
