FILE* type in C#

I have a c api that I have to integrate. It is not COM. It is just plain c that was compiled into a dll. I have been able to wrap all functions except this one

FILE** OpenFileWrite (CHAR*);

I need to be able to create a dllimport similar to this

[DllImport(DllPath,EntryPoint=ApiNameMappings.OpenFileWrite)]

public static extern OpenFile(string FileName);

Any and all suggestions will be appreciated

Here is your answer, you have to use an IntPtr. Here is the sig-declaration and the OFSTRCUT.
But what are you trying todo

Method signature:

[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
static extern IntPtr OpenFile(string lpFileName, out OFSTRUCT lpReOpenBuff,
uint uStyle);

OFSTRCUT:

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct OFSTRUCT
{
public byte cBytes;
public byte fFixedDisc;
public UInt16 nErrCode;
public UInt16 Reserved1;
public UInt16 Reserved2;
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.MarshalAs(System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 128)]
public string szPathName;
}
