Marshaling Differences 2 ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Marshaling Of Simple Types ,[object Object],*bool and Boolean do NOT always convert to a Win32 BOOL Not Supported (floating pont) Double double Not Supported (64-bit) Long long wchar (16-bit) Char char BYTE (8-bit) * Boolean bool Data of the Array int * Array Integer () Array int [] wchar * String String short (16-bit) Short short int (32-bit integer) Integer int Native Code Visual Basic C#

Marshaling Simple Objects *Execution Engine will resize managed strings after native function call Marshaling Action Parameter Type Point at the member data Other objects Make a copy of the string and point at the data (LPSTR) ByRef String* Point at the string data (LPSTR) String Make a copy and point at the string data (LPSTR) String Builder* Point at the array data Array
