Have a look at msdn about SNMP. Would be best to start there.

thanks..
but in all these api's we cannot pass a char pointer as argument which will directly set to the device. what i did was i create a variable list and set value to it in that value i added my char pointer then using that vbl i create the pdu and then send msg using that pdu.is there any other api so that i can directly pass my char pointer to the devise.

As the text found in the first link states: "The context parameter cannot be a C-style string."

i dont have a problem whether it s an smioctets struct or Cstring, but all those apis used for conversion only i cannot directly send a buffer to the device..

That seems to be the correct conclusion.
