Hi,

I created ATL dll in vc++. One of the function has datatype as WCHAR*.

I am rferring this dll in .net, .net automatically converts this to interop
dll and the signature for the method WCHAR* is changed to ushort.

I actually have a string in WCHAR* variable. since it is ushort in .net i am
getting some integer value when made a call.

My code:
VC++
idl file
HRESULT fun1([in]ULONG nVen,[out,retval] WCHAR* retval);

and the functions signature are same as above.

When refeered the dll in .net, the interop dll method is shown as

fun1(ByVal nVen As UInteger, ByRef retval As UShort)

Kindly help me how to get string in .net signature.

Tx in advance

In these situations a BSTR is typically the right thing to use instead of
WCHAR - BSTR is the de facto COM string.
