This is to all the C# gurus. I have been banging my head on this for some time already, tried all kinds of advice on the net with no avail. The action is happening in Windows Mobile 5.0.

I have a DLL named MyDll.dll. In the MyDll.h I have:

extern 'C' __declspec(dllexport) int MyDllFunction(int one, int two);

The definition of MyDllFunction in MyDll.cpp is:

int MyDllFunction(int one, int two) {     return one + two; }

The C# class contains the following declaration:

[DllImport('MyDll.dll')] extern public static int MyDllFunction(int one, int two);

In the same class I am calling MyDllFunction the following way:

int res = MyDllFunction(10, 10);

And this is where the bloody thing keeps giving me ‘Can’t find PInvoke DLL ‘MyDll.dll”. I have verified that I can actually do the PInvoke on system calls, such as ‘GetAsyncKeyState(1)’, declared as:

    [DllImport('coredll.dll')]     protected static extern short GetAsyncKeyState(int vKey);

The MyDll.dll is in the same folder as the executable, and I have also tried putting it into the /Windows folder with no changes nor success. Any advice or solutions are greatly appreciated.

  1. Maybe this seems like an obvious thing to check, but are you compiling the native DLL for the correct CPU architecture? IIRC, Windows Mobile runs on multiple CPU architectures.
