vb.net and/or c#.net wrapper for dwf.dll

[mijq]

Just downloaded Waveforms and would like to use the dwf.dll in a vb.net program. When trying to include the dll as a reference I get an error that it is not recognized as a valid COM component or assembly.

Do you have a compatible wrapper or other suggestion?

Hello, mijq

I created a wrapper that can be called from VB6 by modifying __stdcall calling convention and DEF file.

Readme.txt is written in Japanese, sorry.
To use it, copy the wrapper [digilent.dll] to the [%windir%/system32] folder

Thanks

Hello,

See the following post:

Thanks, but it does not bring me any further. I use vb.net and not vb 6.0. 

Do you have any example code where the c++ functions are imported into a vb.net or c#.net program?

[mijq]

Got a little further:

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

Public Class frmMain
    <DllImport("dwf.dll")>
    Public Shared Function FDwfDeviceOpen(ByVal idxDevice As Integer, ByRef phdwf As IntPtr) As Integer
    End Function
    Dim hdwf As IntPtr
    Private Sub frmMain_Load(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        Try
            FDwfDeviceOpen(-1, hdwf)
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
        End Try

    End Sub
End Class

 

It seems that the <DllImport..> works, but the program throws an exception: 

A call to PInvoke function 'testAnalogDiscovery2!testAnalogDiscovery2.frmMain::FDwfDeviceOpen' has unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke signature match the target unmanaged signature.

 

Please advise

Thanks Tetus,

 

I will try and modify this and see if it works in vb.net

Again thanks to Tetus,

Now I have something that might become a program that works
