Notes:

ms-help://MS.VSCC.2003/MS.MSDNQTR.2003FEB.1033/cpguide/html/cpcondefaultmarshalingforstrings.htm

Suggests that a StringBuilder be used instead of a string type as was listed previously

Tips & Tricks:

Please add some!

Sample Code:

using System.Text;

public String GetDescription(IntPtr hModuleInstance, uint uiStringID)

{

    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(255);
    LoadString(hModuleInstance, uiStringID, sb, sb.Capacity + 1);
    return sb.ToString();

}
