I am currently working on an IT company. They made their software using Clarion, and in this software they have a DLL that recounts many values from their database. I need to call this DLL from my C # project. I tried everything without working.
My code is as follows:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
[DllImport("EPNORM.dll", EntryPoint = "MyRecalcualate@FlOUcOUcOsbOUc")]
public static extern void MyRecalcualate(System.Int64 myPtr, System.Int64 myLong, CWByte myByte);
[DllImport("User32.dll")]
public static extern Boolean MessageBeep(UInt32 beepType);
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
System.Int64 myPtrTemp = 1234;
System.Int64 myLongTemp = 5678;
System.Byte myByteTemp = 88;
try
{
MyRecalcualate(myPtrTemp, myLongTemp, myByteTemp);
bool messagebeep = MessageBeep(1);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
finally
{
MessageBox.Show("Successful");
}
}
}
The problem is that when I call it using breakpoints, it just disappears in the method MyRecalcualateand reaches the block finalllyafter 2 seconds and re-displays without doing anything from the DLL. Is it because there is something in the DLL method that I need to fix, or because I'm doing the wrong call incorrectly?
Parameters of the following call: MyRecalculate (LONG, LONG, BYTE)
MyRecalcualate PROCEDURE (MyStringPtr, MyLong, MyByte) ! Declare Procedure
LOC:CString CSTRING(255)
LOC:Byte BYTE
CODE
! clear completely LOC:CString with null values
LOC:CString = ALL('<0>', SIZE(LOC:CString))
! load string value, byte by byte, from memory address passed (MyStringPtr) and put into LOC:CString
I
LOOP
PEEK(MyStringPtr + I
IF LOC:Byte = 0 THEN BREAK END
LOC:CString[I
I
END
MESSAGE('MyString value is:||' & CLIP(LOC:CString))
MESSAGE('MyLong value is:||' & MyLong)
MESSAGE('MyByte value is :||' & MyByte)
