There is a lot to write about automation variables. E.g. a parameter can be optional and thus, have a default value which is in the TYpeLib. Or VT_ERROR | DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND (which is equivalent to VarType() = vbMissing). This is passed to .NET as Type.Missing. See sample code.

Note Do not confuse the values of the format elements of the formatOffered parameter used by the DsCrackNames function with the similarly named format elements as defined in the ADS_NAME_TYPE_ENUM enumeration used by the IADsNameTranslate interface. The two sets of element formats are not equivalent and are not interchangeable.

If you are getting an HKEY from some source without a managed equivalent, it converts to a .NET RegistryKey as:

Distributed computing is a programming model in which processing occurs in many different places (or nodes) around a network. Processing can occur wherever it makes the most sense, whether that is on a server, personal computer, handheld device, or other smart device. In contrast to the two-node system prevalent today (the client and the centralized server), Microsoft .NET uses distributed computing.

The following C# function returns user information just as fast as the C++ equivalent.

Arguably one of the most frequently used and most important PInvokes used, this is the only way in .NET to get a high performance counter for measurement, unique seeding of Random Variables (although you could perhaps transfer a GUID to a numeric equivalent), and in general what this global consultant would consider a 'must include' in almost any application where Instrumentation is a must.

MQGetQueueSecurity and MQSetQueueSecurity don't have a managed equivalent in the System.Messaging namespace. If you need to read or change the ACL on a queue to, for example, change the queue owner, you need to use P/Invoke to mqrt.dll.
