Can a DLL written in C# be invoked by DLLCall?

[obrienj]

As the subject asks, can a DLL written in C# be invoked by an AutoIt script using the DLLxxx calls?

If not, can someone explain why?

And if they can, are there any special considerations?

Regards,

I dont believe you can, but cannot fully explain why except to say Autoit cannot directy access the .net framework.

Taken from this post, you may be able to acces a C# dll using COM, provided you craete the dll yourself.

It is possible after some manipulations

There is a tool to simplify this task: http://www.autoit.de/index.php?page=Thread&postID=110596#post110596

PS: the modifed DLL still needs the .NET-framework.

Many thanks, I am off to try the tool.

EDIT: It works great, again thanks for the pointer
