.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Internationalization / April 2007Win32 API with globalization
Hi, Can anyone suggest on the behavior of Win32 API in different langauge OSs? For example, if I'm using a Win32 function like "GetClassName" in C#.NET application, how different will the string values returned by this function be? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Hi Ravi, I don't think on localized OSs (or at least not in recent ones) it's going to be any different than on an ENU OS - the OS should return Unicode strings. In any case I think he should declare his functions like this [DllImport("<<the DLL containing the Win32 function>>", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)] The string marshalling story between .NET and COM is fully described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/htm l/cpcondefaultmarshalingforstrings.asp This is some info on how to identify functions and what they return and an important note on the CharSet attribute << When unspecified, the character set, represented by the CharSet field, defaults to ANSI >> And here you can find everything about hot to correctly specify a CharSet: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7b93s42f.aspx Please let me know if you need more info.
