Getting functions from an .exe or unmanaged .dll

Question

A programmer wrote a VB wrapper around Lame.exe and it gives all of the information I need. I have intermediate knowledge in C# and I'd like to create a C# wrapper. The example at CodeProject.com is old (2004) but it still works. and it's written in VB. Can anyone give me information on what tools I'm going to need to do this? Lame.exe is not a COM component and lame_enc is an unmanaged dll. I don't where to begin with this project. Please help!

Answer 1

For unmanaged dll, we can use Platform Invoke (P/Invoke) to use it.

Please check the following documents:

Platform Invoke (P/Invoke)

Interoperating with unmanaged code

If you want to use an exe method in the current project, you can right-click the Reference of the current project and select Add regerence.
