Generate C# DLLImport declarations from a native dll

Question

Do you know a soft which automatically generates C# code (with [DllImport] attributes in .cs) from a native DLL in order to use this DLL in a C# code?

Answer 1

Checkout the P/Invoke Interop Assistant:

In marshalling, there are a bunch of attributes and rules. Understanding all those attributes and rules seem a bit daunting. In order to make developing work more efficient and easier on those attributes and the rules, P/Invoke Interop Assistant comes out. It is a toolkit that helps developers to efficiently convert from C to managed P/Invoke signatures or verse visa. This is conceptually similar to TlbImp for COM Interop which generates managed proxy entry points based on some formal description of the unmanaged side but it works for P/Invoke. The toolkit was first released on MSDN Magazine website in Jan, 2008.website in Jan, 2008.
