It would be nice to have the same for COM Interop.

Looks like a fabulous tool. Could I suggest that the team reaches out to http://pinvoke.net to ask them to advertise it on their front page as well? I know they already have a plugin there, but choice is a good thing...

Staffan,

Ideally yes. Right now the tool just automatically translates unmanaged code into the managed interop definitions. There's no way to figure out from the unmanaged API alone what kind of SafeHandle to use or what API to call to close the handle. It'd be trivial to implement if there was a map of functions, parameter positions, and which function to close with. The team is considering enabling this with a plugin which could do just that based on an input file.

Thanks,

Justin

Shouldn't Create file return a SafeFileHandle instead of an IntPtr?

The http://pinvoke.net/ wiki is another great place to get interop signatures.

A efficient tool, but the signature is very detailed. For example, the 'InAttribute', it is really inform it? But, 'LPWStrAttribute', is a good idea, inform it explicitly, to avoid problems :-)

Is there an effort at MS to examine all the p/Invokes that people are using? To include some of that in the BCL I mean. Mono had a tool like that, it basically analyzes source code looking for "stuff" that's missing in either Mono or Linux/OSX/whatever (P/Invokes).
