Channel 9 Interview: Jared Parsons on the P-Invoke Interop Assistant (Beth Massi)

Published 28 July 08 06:25 PM
Today I posted an interview screencast on Channel 9. In this interview, Jared Parsons, a Developer on the Visual Basic IDE, shows us the P/Invoke Interop Assistant available on CodePlex. The tool helps with converting unmanaged C code to managed P/Invoke signatures and vice versa. Say goodbye to digging through random header files or MSDN documentation to find the right constants, structures and signatures. The P/Invoke Interop Assistant does a smarter translation for you using SAL (Source Code Annotation Language). 

Enjoy,
-Beth Massi, VS Community

Thank you. Pinvoke'ing win32 api calls with the multiple levels to #typdef for parameters/structs is a pain when they're spread through many header files....
