C# Signature:

[DllImport("rapi.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, SetLastError = true)]

internal extern static int CeRapiInvoke(

   string pDllPath,
   string pFunctionName,
   uint cbInput,
   IntPtr pInput,
   out uint pcbOutput,
   out IntPtr ppOutput,
   IntPtr ppIRAPIStream,
   uint dwReserved);

User-Defined Types:

None.

Notes:

sDllPath must be in the MSDOS 8.3 filename format. Any other format that results in a larger filename will

fail. You can use this to access records in databases on the Windows CE Device. Therefore, no platform

invoke for the CeDatabase functions are needed.

Sample Code: [C#]

string sDllPath = @"\dbaccess.dll";

string sFunction = @"MyFunction";

int hResult = CeRapiInvoke(sDllPath, sFunction, 0, IntPtr.Zero, out uiOutput, out pOutput, IntPtr.Zero, 0);

if ( hResult != 0 )

{

   // Execution Failed

}

unsafe

{

   retOutput = new string((char*)pOutput.ToPointer());

}
