How do I call unmanaged C/C++ code from a C# ASP.NET webpage

I have an ASP.NET website that uses C# and I'd like to call functions from an unmanaged C/C++ DLL. How do I do it?

Check out P/Invoke.

Calling Win32 DLLs in C# with P/Invoke

If it's a COM dll, then you can use COM Interop

Just adding that pinvoke.net is a great wiki/resource for your Win32 needs.

  1. create an unmanaged dll:

    extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) __cdecl int sum(int a,int b); ---->
    
  2. create a namespace/class to DllImport the above DLL

    using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
    namespace ImportDLL
    {
    public class importdll
    {
    public importdll()
    {
    }
    
    DllImport("mysum.dll",
              EntryPoint="sum",
              ExactSpelling=false,
              CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
    public extern int myfun(int a, int b);
    }
    }
    
  3. create a aspx code behind

    using ImportDLL;
    namespace TEST
    {
     public int my_result;
     protected importdll imp = new importdll();
     my_result = imp.myfun(1,1);
    }
