Hi,

I need to embed an unmanaged dll and call its function later on.

I know how to do it for a managed dll and it works perfectly.

I am using visual studio, please advice.

Regards

Take a look at this:

Calling Managed Code from Unmanaged Code and vice-versa[^]

and this:

Thanx,

I have gone through the first link, should I understand it this way:

1- convert the unmanaged dll to managed by wrapping it
2- embed the newly created managed dll
3- call the "Embedded Resource" dll using the Assembly

Yeah. That's the basic idea.

If you are using the unmanaged dll lots of places, then wrapping it in a managed layer makes it simpler to access everywhere.
