If I declare like this in C++, how can I declare this same interface but in C#?

CODE

extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) BOOL WINAPI GetPersonInformation(HANDLE program)
{

}

are you wrapping the C++ dll or you just want to write the code in C# that does the same thing as the c++ code

When you said wrap the c++ dll, what do you mean by that? but my main purpose is just write c# that does the same like c++. Does C# have HANDLE type?

wrapping the C++ dll would mean that you create unmanaged code that will access the method in the c++ code by using the c++ dll.

Thanks for your explanation, but is it possible to use C# to export function like the c++ statement I have above?

I believe the magic google word you're looking for it "unmanaged". This was my first hit and seems answer the question: http://blogs.msdn.com/jonathanswift/archiv.../02/780637.aspx

YES indeed, it answers to my question, managed calls unmanaged code, but after thinking over this is not what I wish to do. I should do the opposite way which is unmanaged calls managed..
