To do what your code example does, use the following C# code:

public static class DllHelper
{
    [System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("Dll1.dll")]
    public static extern int function1();
}

private void buttonStart_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        DllHelper.function1();
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    }
}      

The above example is a C# program that calls a function in non .NET based DLL. The example below is a C# program that calls a function in a .NET based DLL.

try
{
    System.Reflection.Assembly dll1 = System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFile("Dll1.dll");
    if (dll1 != null)
    {
        object obj = dll1.CreateInstance("Function1Class");
        if (obj != null)
        {
            System.Reflection.MethodInfo mi = obj.GetType().GetMethod("function1");
            mi.Invoke(obj, new object[0]);
        }
    }
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}

Is any of the the 2 examples what you want? Or are you trying to call a C# function in a DLL from your example code?
