I'm trying to load a library, to use with interop, that has some dll dependencies, all names are known to me, but the location is dynamic. I can call LoadLibrary on the "main" dll, and it works fine if the others are on the working directory, which isn't the case. I tried calling LoadLibrary on everybody but its useless.
Any ideas? Is there an alternative to LoadLibrary?
.NET 4.5 siverlight5 project, interop with fortran.
var interopPath = CreateDllFromResource(dllName);
var d1=CreateDllFromResource("libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll");
var d2 = CreateDllFromResource("libgfortran-3.dll");
var d3 = CreateDllFromResource("libquadmath-0.dll");
pDll = NativeMethods.LoadLibrary(interopPath);
NativeMethods.LoadLibrary(d1);
NativeMethods.LoadLibrary(d2);
NativeMethods.LoadLibrary(d3);
//oh dear, error handling here
if (pDll == IntPtr.Zero)
{
throw new Exception("Dll Pointer is null! // Path: " + interopPath + "// Error: " + WSAGetLastError());
}
IntPtr pAddressOfFunctionToCall = NativeMethods.GetProcAddress(pDll, "ingammaextern_");
if (pAddressOfFunctionToCall == IntPtr.Zero)
{
throw new Exception("Function Pointer is null!");
}
Had to call LoadLibrary
and use SetDllDirectory
for it to work, using DllImport
instead of LoadLibrary
does not work.
[UnmanagedFunctionPointer(CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
private delegate void ingammaextern_(StringBuilder resulfilesparam);
{
var dllName = "SubsCalculator1.dll";
var interopPath = CreateDllFromResource(dllName);
var d1 = CreateDllFromResource("libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll");
var d2 = CreateDllFromResource("libgfortran-3.dll");
var d3 = CreateDllFromResource("libquadmath-0.dll");
string folderPath ="C:\folder\
SetDllDirectory(folderPath);
pDll = NativeMethods.LoadLibrary(interopPath);
}
