I need to dynamicly load C++ DLL from .Net module. (C#)
Name of dll in unknown during compliation, but export section is well known.
How should I do this?

I need .NET equivalents for win32 functions
LoadLibrary
FreeLibrary
GetProcAddress

Thanks in advance.

Check out www.pinvoke.net for DllImport definitions for those methods.
