Hi
I need to write a C# .dll library which exports functions accessible from good old win32 API applications. (not the usual other way around, calling win API functions from C#) Is this possible?
If so, how do I make them as regular (global) functions, without being nested in some namespace and class?
The win32 api application requires for example "void FunctionA()" and "void FunctionBee()" to be exported in my dll, but as far as I know, C# does not allow for functions to be on their own, without being in a namespace and class. Other than that, I do not know how to mark them as "exported", some attribute or something?
Please point me in the right direction, any help appreciated.
Thanks, H.

Not possible in .NET.
You can't 'export' them, you'd need to write a COM dll and access them via COM.

That is bad news, I'll probably need to reconsider the whole approach. One last shot - if I leave out the requirement that they need to be standalone functions and write something like
namespace Space
{
public class Something
{
public static void FunctionA()
{
}
}
}
Can this FunctionA be somehow accessed from an unmanaged C++ win32 application? (no fancy com, mfc, nothing). If so, could you give me a little clue how (on the c++ side)? Or another way to make it work with just the C++ app and the C# dll? (I have access to both)
Thanks in advance, H.

No.

Using C# to generate the .DLL, we've already told you the options you have.

Ok, thanks, no c# then.
Out of curiosity - what project type one selects when creating COM dll in Visual Studio? Is it "ATL Project" or something else? I've never done that (and probably won't).

Just a class library. The COM exposure is all in how you attribute your code.

Christian is correct. The only "easy" interface you have is to expose your classes, properties, and method is through COM.
You could try to host the .NET CLR in your Win32 app, but that's a severe pain in the ass to do. Read[^]

Thanks. Please read my answer above, I'll be glad if you have something to say. Otherwise I'll probably forget about C# altogether.
BTW: "through COM" means that I 1) write the C# .dll with the functions (as public static methods) 2) write another library which receives calls from the win32 application and forwards them to the C# dll?
Thanks, H.

I need help setting up a project that can search for products at Amazon, return a list of matches, and possibly even make purchases via a WS.
Anyone have experience with Amazon Web Services that could point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Smart I like. Smart ass I can do without.
First, I have already spent considerable time searching aws.amazon.com, second I spent enough time searching Google.
If I had found useful info, I wouldn't be posting here.
If you don't have anything useful to contribute, then don't contribute.

The information accessible from the Google search I provided is useful to developers capable of developing the project you described. If that is not you, that's not my fault. So for trying to blame me for your shortcomings I have a great big F*** OFF A**HOLE in reply.

Well, other people had no problem posting a decent reply.
If you're just looking to troll, go somewhere else.
The world is full of A$$holes, don't be one yourself.
I'm done with you.
