Sample Code:

    // Only this sample works on my Windows 7 + dotNET4
    [DllImport("rasapi32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
    public static extern uint RasGetEntryDialParamsW(
        string lpszPhonebook,
        IntPtr lprasdialparams,
        out bool lpfPassword);

Please add some!

    public RASDIALPARAMS GetDialParams() {
    var lpRasDialParams = new RASDIALPARAMS
    {
         szEntryName = "Some dial name"
    };

    // Initialize unmanged memory to hold the struct.
    IntPtr pnt = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(RASDIALPARAMS)));

    // Copy the struct to unmanaged memory.
    Marshal.StructureToPtr(lpRasDialParams, pnt, true);

    bool lprPassword = false;

    var nRet = RasGetEntryDialParamsW(null, pnt, out lprPassword);
    if (nRet != 0)
    {
        // Clear unmanaged memory
        Marshal.FreeHGlobal(pnt);
        throw new Exception("Error text");
    }

    // Copy unmanaged memory to the struct.
    lpRasDialParams = (RASDIALPARAMS)Marshal.PtrToStructure(pnt, typeof(RASDIALPARAMS));

    // Clear unmanaged memory
    Marshal.FreeHGlobal(pnt);

    return lpRasDialParams;
