There's built-in support for marshaling to LPSTR using the MarshalAs attribute.

You call would likely be something like this;

bool GetServerName(int index, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] string Buffer, int BufSize)

More detailed information on marshaling can be found here[^].

Hope this helps,
Fredrik
