  Putting Dll in the same directory as of your application is enough and you dont need to do anything.

  I found that "USBm.dll" makes the compiler much happier.

  Thanks,

  Copy K8062D.dll in release or bin folder where your program's output is generated then write a class like:

  using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

  namespace SomeNameSpace

  {

  public static class K8062DWrapper

  {

  [DllImport(K8062D.dll)]

  public static extern void StartDevice();

  [DllImport(K8062D.dll)]

  public static extern void StopDevice();

  [DllImport(K8062D.dll)]

  public static extern void SetChannelCount();

  [DllImport(K8062D.dll)]

  public static extern void SetData();

  }

  }

  Now you can call function of above cretaed class like:

  K8062DWrapper.StartDevice();

  etc.

  Make sure to change paramters these functions require and values they return.

  I hope this will help.

  Hi again,

  I typed in exactly what you said to, changing the .dll name to USBm, my dll's name, ofcourse.

  And I get the message : The name 'USBm' does not exist in the current context.

  What does this mean. I put a .dll copy in my projects bin folder, and the place where the code is output to.

  Thanks,

  Mike

  I had the same question. So thanks.

  But I how do I connect the dll to my application

  Maybe I'm using the wrong words.

  Do I just make sure the dll file is in the same directory, or do I put a reference to it in the code somewhere

  Thanks,

  Mike

  Hi, use this

  [DllImport("k8062D.dll")]

  private static void StartDevice (void);

  Hi again,

  New problem.

  I wrote this (for an output function):

  [DllImport("USBm.dll", EntryPoint = "USBm_WriteA")]

  public static extern void USBm_WriteA(byte deviceindex, byte data);

  and this (for an input function):

  [DllImport("USBm.dll", EntryPoint = "USBm_ReadB")]

  public static extern void USBm_ReadB(byte deviceindex, byte data);

  And this works :

  USBmWrapper.USBm_WriteA(0, Write_Data);

  But this doesn't:

  USBmWrapper.USBm_ReadB(0, Read_Data);

  Error : "AccessViolationException was unhandled" "Attempt to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt."

  Is this just a coding error, or is my computer broken

  Thanks,

  Mike
